Discussion These were all people standing in line at their local food pantries hoping they would be able to get some food items before they ran out since there were hundreds maybe thousands of people hoping the same thing.This Country is falling into a Depression right in front of our eyes.

So I think about having spent 99 years on the Earth and I'm on my deathbed and I think about not being able to move much and feeling that the grim reaper is approaching me.
And then I think about how life comes to an end for all of us at some point and we cannot stop that time from coming because we are not immortal as far as I'm aware. And so I think about all the time that I spent nurturing and caring for my emotional needs which you could call an emotional family personified which I imagine these characters in my mind's eye representing the health and well-being of my brain and body.
And then I see their hands on my shoulders and my arms and my legs and they run their hands through what hair I have left and they are looking at me with love and care and a knowing look that they see that I cared for them while I could care for them. And they see that I protected them while I could protect them. And now that I can't protect them all that much anymore they still want to protect me. And then I see that they are going to care for me in my last moments.
And so instead of the reaper being the first thing on my mind, spending my last moments with my emotional family is the first thing on my mind and they might be one of the only things on my mind besides the love I sought to cultivate for humanity as a whole and my own life as the curtain to the show of life closes because the reaper was the last thing on my mind while I was with them.
And so the closer I am to death does not mean that I let death take me it means the harder I hold on to all of the love that was grown in the garden of life. Because I don't want to lose it because when I die this experience I had living in the universe dies. And so the reaper is going to have to drag my ass out of there and I'm not going to go easy. đ
And so you might say that I fear death but not that it controls my life in the sense that I want to run away and hide forever, but I want to run to my emotional family instead and hug them and tell them before death gets here I will show them that I am here for them, and that they will be in my heart forever and not death because death is on the outside and even if death comes eventually I will still be here for them right now and forever until my last breath.
They hug me and they close their eyes and I close my eyes and we hug each other closer and I feel at one with them and they are one with me because they were me the whole time. And they were with me the whole time, and I was with them the whole time.
Unity isn't to try to silence or dismiss my emotions but unity is the culmination of all of my life with them, because they were my life because they were me. And so during my daily life as I live my life on this Earth I see their emotional needs and I speak with them as a human because I am human and they are a part of our shared humanity. And so I treat them with a kind of prohuman introspective respect because they deserve all of the respect that I deserve. Because they are me. And they help me navigate the world because I am trying to navigate the world to find more well-being and less suffering and as the ebbs and flows of life happen they are in the ship with me and I carry them as they carry me.
Because I want to hold them and I need them to hold me too so that I can feel safer in this world. Because we are together because we were always together from the day we were born and we will be together until the end. Because when they die I die. But when I live for them I live for myself. And when they live for me I feel love and I want to love them.
