That other conservative host that said Rush was b.tching is a JERK.
Way too many in this country are Terrified of death.
It’s taboo to mention it.
And that causes the fear of it to magnify much more.
Rush doesn’t know it, but it has been cathartic to likely many that he has shared his trials with us.
I have been near death several times and ironically it’s an incredibly peaceful feeling and seemed so natural at the time.
Now that I’m better it’s back to being terrifying :)
Yes I believe in God but I guess my faith is not strong enough.
But Rush sharing has alleviated fears to some extent...i’m ont sure why..but it’s a good thing
“That other conservative host that said Rush was b.tching is a JERK.”
Who would that be?? He did his job and I know someone close to the radio industry and he told me no one in 20 years has beaten Rush at the 9 am PT slot ratings. It’s time for a change and time to get someone younger and angrier who will carry the torch for decades like Bongino and Bannon. Time for Rush to rest because he deserves it.
“I have been near death several times and ironically it’s an incredibly peaceful feeling and seemed so natural at the time.”
Yes, it is peaceful. I also think your use of the word natural is very much on target. Like you, as I move further and further away from the event a little of that wears off. But overall, it changes your whole outlook — on life — and for the better. I can’t imagine being in that state, though, without a belief in a God who created us and will welcome us back home when death on this earth finally succeeds (in whatever form it takes).

Only a couple of times that I can honestly point to but after the fact, such as being in a car, changing my mind while the others took off, got in a wreck and all but one died....’heavy’ at 16.
Also I had volunteered for a certain type ship and the one I think I would have been on was lost with all hands and it got closer to home when I realized I knew a few of the people on board, not close but recognized the names as classmates.
Couple of close calls and you look at it as it is - inevitable and just try and stay ‘prepared’.
I definitely don’t want to stretch it out with a debilitating disease or condition but.......
It is what it is and best one can do is do the best one can for the time here.
I ‘joke’ that I was lucky to see 30 and the rest has been a bonus (of sorts???)
Like I/WE say...
Don’t screw with an ‘old man’ as the threat of a life sentence becomes less of a deterrent with age....
