Well let's see if you have the same opinion about marriage 50 years from now...let's see if you become one of the successful 50%....
Well at least unlike you, Jon E and myself look at things on the positive side.

No children to run around his home breaking stuff..no ungrateful children to bother him about trivial stuff...no nagging wife to give him an early death...
He had no children to be around him when he died... He had no children to be proud of, he had no children that would give him the oppurtunity to become a grandfather and have grandchildren... he had no children to sit around the table and listen to his life stories.... He had no children to hug him and love him... He had no children to watch them grow up into men.... he had no children to go watch their soccer matches and be proud of them.... He had no children to invite over for a Sunday braai like a big happy family... he had no children to laugh with and joke with.... he had no children to make him laugh and smile and cheer him up when he felt down,
YES ... he had no children.
He had no wife to take care of him when he was sick.... He had no wife to fall asleep with at night.... He had no wife to love him... he had no wife to make him food to eat.. He had no wife to go on holidays with... he had no wife to talk to... he had no wife to wake up to in the morning.... he had no wife to
LOVE.

That guy could have obtained happiness in so many different ways...he could have read many books, play chess, paint, DJ, etc, etc, etc...
Books, a game of chess, painting, DJ..... All these things might bring him SOME joy to a certein EXTENT.... but they are all NOTHING compared to the joy of having a family at the age of 70. And why would he want to learn Dj at that age anyways? And who is he going to play chess with? ( IF he had children or maybe a wife, then he could play with them
![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
) Painting? Firstly... he could paint WITH having a family at home too... and Painting might be enjoyable to a small percentage of us, and lets say that he DID like painting... are u actually comparing the joy that painting gives you to the joy of having a family and loving children etc?

That guy didn't "need" to create a family to be happy.
From what i saw, he looked FAR from happy, he actually looked like he was looking forward to the day of his death... U know why? because he had NOTHING to live for!

Concerning him only having 10 people at his funeral...I've always heard people say they want a big funeral when they die but I've always wondered how is that important when you're dead?
Its about knowing that when u die there will be people there that care for u, and that are sad about the fact that u wont be there anymore... Its about being remembered by loved one's... Its about not dying alone! If u might think "why would i care if i am dead" then thats the wrong attitude to have... its about the concept.
DjDreamer said:
When I'm dead I hope they burn my corpse...I want that to happen because I'm concerned about the environment...cemeteries take up space...space that can be used to house the living...
Well thats maybe what YOUR opinion is, and thats YOUR way of looking at things... but 99% of the rest of the world want to be burried in a nice respectfull place where they will be remembered, just like they would want to be able to go to the resting place of their loved one's, they want the same to be done to them.
What u are saying is that after we die we dont need to be remembered, and that our life never really meant anything to anyone! DjDreamer: Dont you think that ppl that are close to you would want to come visit your resting place when u are dead? Don u think that your loved ones and people that are close to you would want to be able to come "visit" you and tell u how much they miss you? Dont u want them to have something to rememebr you by? Cause i sure do, and i know that most people also do. Just like when my parents one day pass on, i would want to be able to go to their resting place and feel cose to them and tell them how much i miss them (doesnt matter if they cant "hear" me, its for me, to be at peace with myself)... I think that your whole way of looking at life is WRONG DjDreamer, and i think its time for you to get a reality check, and realise that there is alot more to life!
Well, i felt like i had to get that off my chest, as i found your post rather disturbing...
I hope that i got through to you on some level or another... But most of all, i hope that u find happiness in your life, one way or another.
Keep well...
Laterz....
