Interesting article on giving up the ghost

[Faust]

I only had time to read the first page, but of that page, a patient with CF was mentioned right away. I was captivated by the article, and i wish I had time to finish it before work <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">

OOps. Should have maybe read the whole thing first.

WARNING: The article is pretty graphic, and to some probably emotional. But the only part we should probably really pay attention to is the last part of it from the physician writing the article:

"What I have learned from my patients since that day is that we give death power (as if it needs it) - power not to kill us but to rivet us, to silence us, to drive us from our humanity while we still live. We give death power precisely to the extent that we work to ignore it, to blind ourselves to its closeness, to imagine we have the power to stave it off forever. If we go through life imagining that, then the moment when we are forced to look at death can only rupture everything we know and paralyze us, still alive. That's not a good way to die."


I must admit though, i'm pretty hard core, and some of that article gave me the heebie jeebies.

DEATH...THE ONE THING I FEAR THE MOST....THIS ARTICLE JUST MADE ME THINK ABOUTIT MORE. I KNOW THAT I AM GOING TO DIE BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO DIE UNTIL I AM OLD, AND UNTIL I HAVE MADE A MARK IN HISTORY. I HAVE SO MANY DREAMS, LIKE BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL BASS ANGLER, BUT DREAMS COST MONEY. MONEY THAT MANY CF PATIENTS WILL NEVER SEE. I HOPE ONE DAY TO HAVE A MAJOR SPONSOR TO PAY FOR TOURNAMENT COSTS AND GIVE ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT CF AND BECOME A LEGEND TO BE REMEMBERED YEARS AFTER MY DEATH
