One thing I have recently thought about and I think we all somewhat felt the same when we read your line. You here injured and sort of dismiss it as not that bad. They are OK. Sometimes there are things worse that death. Being in a coma and being alien breathing being to your freinds and family. Their lifes will usually be changed forever. They will not forget about this tomarrow. They will live with some serious injuries the rest of there life. There are the ones that may have just broke bones but the other are amputies and possibly paralized. Why do we dismiss the severity of their situation so fast. The twenty+ you will not remember but the one you will.user added image

Keep it light guys, do not go for flames here. user added image

Yeah, that's somewhat how I see it too. Maybe I'm just jealous because they got a faith and I don't user added image

Anyways, I've started to read to read some about Taoism, and it is pretty close to how I look at life. (Not that I am so succesful at living my life that way all the time user added image)

A better question would be why does he permit it? After all how do you know he is causing the trouble?

ultragames...thats exactly what I think. I don't fear to die .... I fear the pain. Like you have a accident and you lie in hospital...bleeding everywhere...no feet anymore... It hurts like hell. As I heard that my grandpa died...I thought "why damnit....why grandpa?" but later I noticed it was better. My grandpa was tired... he did not have any pain .. he was just tired he came from shopping and wanted to sleep. He lay in bed... and he told me to wake him up in two hours. Two hours later I said "wake up man". No reaction. After a time I noticed he died. But it was the best time. He was 76 years old and he died without pain. My grandma died after 2 years pain ... she lay all day in bed and screamed. The day she died everybody knew that because she had 6 years (I think its called cancer or something
like that).

and adl you said "The way I see it, they sure as hell have helped a lot of people find their paths in life when in doubt."

So true...

Eagle both my grandparents died of cancer. They suffered like hell.
When I said I was scared of dying I did not mean that I am afraid. My biggest fear is leaving my wife alone. She has been through too much in life she does not deserve this on top. I am the joy of her life. My parents I worry about them. I remember my mum always said to me that the worse thing a parent can go through is the death of it's child.

dockode- Yes why does god permit it. Why do bad people get away with emmm murder? What is the meaning of life? WHo am I?
What am I?....etc there is no logic to life.

Did anyone see a documentary on James Nachtwey? Smashing guy. For me people like him are the real pope ;-)

If god exists, it does not mean that he is "good", he could
just play with us.
For me, personally, and I know I am strange on that user added image ,
death and stuff is normal. As well as terror (almost wrote
"tarot" :o user added image ).
I will live life so I am happy, and the important part,
will no one who does not want it "include" in my life.

But, "god" damn it, there is my girlfriend who just wants...
Terrible world... user added image user added image


Well... user added image

Yes friday when I was coming back from work, the station is 5 minutes from where I live and the accident happened right next to the station-

https://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissin...05&sid=4376111

Yesterday was a strange day as I approached the crash site I saw the mangled trains for the 1st time and as soon as I saw it that VERY second my mum phoned me on my mobile (which she never phones on as she is in a different country) and asked me in a very scared/worried voice if I was ok. The interesting thing is that she did not have any clue about thîs incident. Her sixth sense made her phone me. Was scarey.

The scene was so unreal. I wish I had my Nikon camera with me. All the mangled train, emergency lights, rescue workers.....looked like a hollywood shoot.

22 year old girl died. What did she do to deserve this......probably was looking forward to the weekend.

Anyway the the point at which the incident happened the train banks to one side like a formula 1/indie car when turning.
Every morning for last 2 years I have been looking there and thinking isn't that dangerous.

Another thing I catch a bus every day. It goes over a bridge. Every time I pass over the bridge I feel strange and very spiritual.
Guess what? After 2 years of feeling strange I found out that every month approximately 1 person jumps from this bridge & commits suicide :-O Scared the shit out of me. I tell you something this bridge has a very strong pull. Somethimes I feel ddrawn to it.

edit- Hans Mundwiler, chief of the Zurich fire department, the overturned passenger car landed on a 16,000-volt power line. "It's a wonder that no one was electrocuted."


grrrr
