We all know deep down how can there be an answer right, shit ALWAYS happens when you least expect it?? So I happened to do some angel tarot reading yesterday which said I should just dump those questions so there will be peace (how impossible). So anyway i do know for sure he had a full life filled with lots of fun doing as he wished, till the very end. Even though we are left in pain, that's a real consolation.. And he mentioned you often enough for me to remember your name:D I knew yaoping and still think about him and death constantly, it’s made me puzzled and frustrated the questions with no answers.

Death - even with all the revolutionary technology 'intelligent' human beings come up with today, death is something we will never figure out. Death is painful, unexplained. I wrote an entry about this a few weeks back. 'I acknowledge that deaths happen at every minute across this world, and it would seem ignorant to be shock at this terrible accident; at the same time I cannot let myself believe that an end of a life can seemingly mean so little in the grand scheme of things in this world' even after yrs of being a christian, knowing about heaven and hell, the sinful nature of men and the gift of being saved, death is still something I cannot ever understand. Something so painful, so devastating, and like u said, something that has an permenant impact by leaving a long-term whole. It feels like even the Love of God cannot justify the pain of human death.

Take care, my carnivorous friend E Hi ‘Alison’

Randomly came across your blog today; yet the topic was very close to my heart.

Death – even with all the revolutionary technology ‘intelligent’ human beings come up with today, death is something we will never figure out.

Death is painful, unexplained. I wrote an entry about this a few weeks back. ‘I acknowledge that deaths happen at every minute across this world, and it would seem ignorant to be shock at this terrible accident; at the same time I cannot let myself believe that an end of a life can seemingly mean so little in the grand scheme of things in this world’

even after yrs of being a christian, knowing about heaven and hell, the sinful nature of men and the gift of being saved, death is still something I cannot ever understand. Something so painful, so devastating, and like u said, something that has an permenant impact by leaving a long-term whole. It feels like even the Love of God cannot justify the pain of human death.

I think that works for some people, whereas for others who after reading it feel like their in a downward spiral all over again because they felt that was very UN encouraging and invoke even MORE worries, should look towards Nike's decree of "Just Do It". (Well not do everything, but do what you'd normally won't do within the boundaries of Christianity la). :P Nice-uh post-uh!
