Jane Fonda, 76, Faces Mortality With Tears
NewsMax ^ | 2/25/14 | Drew MacKenzie

and activist Jane Fonda has revealed that at 76 she’s become increasingly aware of her own mortality – and admits that she constantly finds herself crying over "the smallest things."

In an emotional and sometimes eccentric blog entry titled "Crying" on her website, JaneFonda.com, the actress says, "How come pretty things, kind deeds, sad stories, acts of courage, good news, someone’s flax of insight, all get me crying or, at least, tearing up?"

In the blog entry, Fonda didn't reference her political activism, including protesting the Vietnam War. She was photographed during a trip to North Vietnam in 1972 seated on an anti-aircraft battery and was called "Hanoi Jane."

"The Fondas have always been cryers," Fonda wrote. Referring to actor Henry Fonda, she said, "My father once said, Fondas cry at a good steak. My son and daughter are the same. But I find my emotions are way more accessible than they were when I was younger, and I’ve come to feel it has to do with age.

"I have become so wonderfully, terribly aware of time, of how little of it I have left; how much of it is behind me, and everything becomes so precious."

Fonda, who starred in such hit films as "Barefoot in the Park," "On Golden Pond," and Barbarella," said that as she gets closer to the end, she’s able to appreciate "the beauty in small things more than when I was younger perhaps because I pay attention more."

She continued, "I ache for unwanted children in the world, for polar bears, and elephants, whales, and Monarch butterflies, and dolphins, gorillas, and chimpanzees."

Oh-oh.

I better sell my surplus Jane Fonda urinal targets fast.

FUJF.

Traitor to America.

Killed the US nuclear industry.

Unabashed Marxist who made a fortune hawking exercise videos in the ‘80s.

All around self-absorbed bitch.

Better women than her didn’t get the privilege to make it to 76.

When she has her Come to Jesus meeting it will be very short. My guess is she will have to meet someone else....

For a person who doesn’t believe in Heaven, I can somewhat understand the tears. However, wait til she finds out there is a place in Hell for her. Never forget the pain she caused to our Heroes, the POWs.

“How come pretty things, kind deeds, sad stories, acts of courage, good news, someone’s flax of insight, all get me crying...”

Well, Jane... I guess that is just the natural and inevitable consequence of possessing a stunted and squishy character and the abject lack of a spiritual core!

Character counts!

You don’t wait until you are approaching your end in life to ‘cry’ over your mortality.

If you want to face it with dignity (that’s DIGNITY) then, all along, you SHOULD have been cultivating the necessary spiritual humility and strength of character to go out like a human being and NOT like a slimy tree slug.

Fonda has lived this long for one reason only:

“Some people are alive only because it’s illegal to kill them.”

Got to start making my celebration plans for when Hanoi Jane finally croaks.

Maybe walking down the middle of the street waving my American flag and belting out “Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!” with lyrics dedicated to that worthless b!tch!!

Suggestions?

...she constantly finds herself crying over “the smallest things.”
+++++
Since she is crying over herself...’the smallest things’ is spot on accurate.

She can no more evade her karma, than she can elude her shadow.
Exactly so!

So long, Jane! Give our most profane regards to Marx when you see him.
