When I am old

When I am old I do not want regrets.
 

The station metaphor implies an unrecoverable past event, a one time shot not to be repeated. I ask myself if given another opportunity for birth and life would I take it or turn it down?
 

I don’t have many regrets. One I do have is that I found a stray dog with a gimpy leg and didn’t adopt him, but took him to a vet. I should have just taken him home. Funny how that has stuck with me.

I'd take it in a heart beat
Not because of past misdeeds.....too many.....and folks I've hurt have forgiven me with open arms

no

It'd just be another chance at spending more with time my eldest son
To be closer

He passed a year ago last April
Too sudden

It doesn't haunt me or anything.......just a regret I'd love to have another chance at

It is unfair once a person is born he/she must go through life regardless of the desire to leave. If a person doesn’t life why do laws and society prevent a personal exit.

I’m not alone thinking this and I don’t see a problem making a decision on this matter. If religion and society had a healthy view of life and death perhaps it would be so bad in their eyes.

What is the big deal?

True anyone can off themself, I wish society would look at death more favorably and without contempt. It is unhealthy the way death is viewed by church and superstition.
Like so many hand me downs the way we view is not from original thinking but from fears and BS we inherited.

That's your view Mr Ed and it's not my place or intention to question you on it but, just in the interests of stating another view, it could just as easily be said that it is unhealthy to view life so unfavourably.
 
Granted my view might be unhealthy, but it is the only view I have. All my life I wish I never happened. On that note, for people who are tired or fed up with life, should not be scorned for not wanting to be here.

Realistically you are born and you die. It is not ourselves that gives value to life, it is meaning that makes us the best we can be.

It wasn't my intention to make you feel scorned, I simply expressed a different view.

It is sad that you feel as you do as life is all we have and our journey from birth to death is a relatively short one in the grand scheme of things.
 
I agree but when I am in a funk there is not any joy to life. Complicate life with my history regarding childhood trauma, religion church etc life has no joy
 
The things above affected my life, my issue is I am too old to make a career, or do anything strenuous, my tolerance is low and I’m lacking in patients. It’s like oh woe is me, poor pitiful me.

Indiana Jone's rely to Marion's statement, "You're not the man I knew 10 years ago"

" It's not the Years, honey, it's the Mileage ".

Pretty much sums up my take on growing old.

No regrets on all those Miles...
