What amazes me is this concept of how we can hold onto those we love forever if only they would do this or that. Perhaps, we are that loved one that needs to change. You know what folks? First off, what's happened in the past can't be changed. The damage we have done is there. Secondly, changing someone with a prognosis of gloom, what is that gaining? Making you feel better? Honestly, get over yourselves. What it really boils down to is can that person go without you feeling any guilt. So hounding them about lifestyle issues, makes you feel better, You just want to feel absolved of supporting bad habits. Let people live. Let them die young, old, etc. As long as their choices aren't affecting you, such as you being a passenger in a vehicle at 100 MPH while they had just drank a fifth of vodka, what difference does it make? Who the fuck are you, Methusala? Are you living forever? Quit grasping on a the time you could have had, and instead, grasp on the time you have now. Respect each other, love each other. If someone's habits, be it drinking, smoking, drugs, eating, exercise, etc. bothers you LEAVE THEM if it isn't going to work. If you love them that much, but they still keep doing those things, deal with it. Honestly, the "we can live forever" type of thought just amazes me, as well as the selfishness of those who think that had someone only changed a habit, they would be here forever, if not now. Get busy living, or get busy dying. Your choice.
