LOL. . .
I really like that idea. . . Do you mind if I quote you?
OH MAN. . . So I IMed that to my friend, and it started the most amazingly long confusing but actually quite enjoyable philosophical conversation on I'm not quite sure what but I think it was about the meaning of life, maybe? I dont know. . . I'm thinking of putting it up here because he really has a very interesting point of view...
I started by sending the statement, then he responded:
My philosophical friend: yes
My philosophical friend: and no
ME: lol
ME: how yes and no?
My philosophical friend: yes it is the slowest rate at which you can die
My philosophical friend: no they're not going to feel stupid
ME: lol
ME: ok
My philosophical friend: they're going to be glad they led such long, fulfilling lives
ME: um
ME: errrr
ME: well
ME: long lives dont necessarly make full lives
My philosophical friend: well in that case
My philosophical friend: as many of them will feel stupid
My philosophical friend: as normal people do
ME: lol
ME: I think I would feel stupid
My philosophical friend: eat drink and be merry
My philosophical friend: cause tomorrow we're dyin
ME: yeah
ME: lol
My philosophical friend: does make a fulfilling life either
ME: ?
My philosophical friend: *doesn't
ME: no, it's not the philosophy it's the action taken
ME: but I just like the latter phylosophy more than the former
My philosophical friend: well
My philosophical friend: some day you may be lying in bed thinking
My philosophical friend: all i did was eat drink and be merry
My philosophical friend: and i never accomplished anything
My philosophical friend: and the healthy person may think i'm dying anyway even though i was so careful
My philosophical friend: or they may not
ME: ha ha. . . that all depends on your definition of accomlish and what you think is worth acomplishing in the world
My philosophical friend: how you feel about your life little or nothing to do with what you actually did in your life
ME: ?
My philosophical friend: some people will regret not doing certain things regardless of what they accomplish
ME: ture
ME: true
My philosophical friend: and some people will die happy, having accomplished nothing
ME: lol
ME: haha
My philosophical friend: simply aware that life itself is a beautiful thing
ME: once again depends on your point of view
My philosophical friend: that's all it depends on
ME: or there are those who will say, god, I'm finally going, what a waste of time this was
ME: there was no point
My philosophical friend: on a long enough timeline
My philosophical friend: everyone's life is meaningless
ME: exactly
ME: and I'm the kind of person that would think about that
ME: lol
ME: and laugh
ME: as I die
My philosophical friend: lol
My philosophical friend: some people would prefer to be a part of the long chain of people who accomplish things
ME: well
ME: ha
My philosophical friend: even knowing that their individual actions might not matter in a short time
ME: that's if they think the people are actually accomplishing anything worth while
ME: you're a very positive person
My philosophical friend: that's because i think life is a miracle
ME: really?
My philosophical friend: regardless of any sort of god that may exist
ME: I meet very few people who think like that
My philosophical friend: and i think happinness is relative
ME: I think that life as a whole is meaningless, it's every little moment that makes the difference
My philosophical friend: the funny thing
My philosophical friend: is that as part of nature
My philosophical friend: the only real meaning of life
My philosophical friend: is sex
My philosophical friend: and surviving long enough to have sex
ME: biologically speaking yes
My philosophical friend: biology is all there is
ME: but will you be fullfilled as a person if you live for only sex?
My philosophical friend: some people could
My philosophical friend: if tht's what you want to do
My philosophical friend: and you do it
My philosophical friend: you will be fulfilled
My philosophical friend: if i want build the world's largest building
Can you tell he's a Bio major? LOL

Is Health the slowest possible rate at which one can die? Are the health nuts going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital dying of nothing?
