My sister took it when it was offered, she was stuck and her life purpose wasn't being fulfilled....bless her.....i know how she must've been feeling, Im wondering now if it was presented to me for sure if i would accept....its a tempting concept.....I can't say with full clarity that i would....its easy to say 'yes' until it actually happens....then it may be a different answer in the reality of that moment........

When I say this, I'm being a realist. I'm always going to be sick. I know this. Is it fair for people to expect me to keep suffering? I've suffered now for over 4 decades. Its not going to get better. To me, they are idealists. They romanticise me as being miraculously cured. Its not going to happen. I wish they would grasp this concept.

I don't want to leave them to hurt them. Its not about that at all. Its not coming from a selfish standpoint. Its coming from a realistic standpoint. I'm suffering too much. I'm exhausted. I'm weary. I need my spirit to move on.

I'm always going to be with them. This is something they seem to forget.

If i felt like they do i would commit a crime and go to prison and see what that is like for awhile.lol.Or if that sounds too drastic go and chill out in a retreat Centre and try to come to terms with the scathing societal criticism of living your life differently. And of course what would your mother say ?

There is always something that you are holding onto ? Your holding onto your view of how bad it all is. Maybe you have terminal cancer but you didnt specify so sorry about that. Yes generally i wouldn't let the world bully me to that extent, Get into a fight, walk down the street naked, go in and try to rob a bank in the most peaceful way you can << probably not ! ...Take a plane and go to a slum and help people for food and a bed. Get your a off the pity pot !

Would i go if given the chance ? Certainly not the Bodhisattvas will never leave the earth till the last soul is liberated and i will try to follow their example. The more the ego dies and self centredness dies, bit by bit, the more i find that i am gone anyway, I have died or am dying ? how can i come back ? Kind regards forgive the strong reaction if that is what you need to do.

I'm sorry if i read your reply to the question wrong Yumi, are you very sick or something ?

Yes exactly.. there's no difference between being here and being there when ego takes a step back.

Hey Yumi i wrote a verse in quick reply to what i said ..i hope i havent offended you by my firey reply so i thought i'd write you a little verse instead. thankyou.

We used to live there
In the sky somewhere
Above the clouds in the
Starry night ?
We used to have the answers
once
To a question that was never
asked
We used to tail the comets
in the night sky
And drink in the suns golden (Glasp) light

When we lived there
and there was nowhere else
To be
No longing for Me and you
Up and Down
Hicklely Pi- ck- le- dy

Shall we return again
When the light has faded down ?
Together you and I
Above false hope
of endlessness and pleasure ?
When the the light has spread
itself out
A Dim burnished Halo
kissing the ground ?
Hand in hand walk back
to be
there
Somewhere only we can
Recognise ?

I've decided that after I write a few books, and do my art - then yes I will. That way I feel at least I got something done and that I can end my pain without feeling guilty about not completing anything in this life.

Well, Joe

The OP asked a direct question. I answered it honestly. I'm not going to apologize for how I feel. Not everyone will answer the question with a no.

What truly unnerved me was you suggesting I commit a crime. Why would I do that? For what purpose would that be a solution?

I'm on no pity party, either. I'm a realist. It is what it is.

Totally get you, Yumi.
