I cannot ever just leave if I feel that I am needed. At least that's the feeling. I suspect we are all not as necessary as we feel. It's a nice feeling, I guess.

Yes, I think I know what you mean, but don't many of us depend on someone else to get them through life, for one reason or another.

I depend on my wife. My wife depends on me. When that breaks down, in my opinion, chaos would ensue.

No. That's happened to me (the death of a beloved wife). After a period of intense grief I found another beloved wife.

I never contemplated life without my first wife. When we did divorce, I contemplated staying with my second wife for always. Thus far it has worked out. - We deal with a loss, then move on. The only alternative is not living at all.

Jean-Luc Picard: It's our mortality that defines us, Soran. It's part of the truth of our existence.
Tolian Soran: What if I told you I found a new truth?
Jean-Luc Picard: The nexus?
Tolian Soran: Time has no meaning there. The predator has no teeth.

Yes, Edgar. It seems that life is a series of losses. At my age I see so many of my friends passing away (from their lives and from me). Even our own death we fear because of the massive loss it entails.
But, frankly, since my life and my "objects" are no more than subjective experiences, I believe that when I die I take everything (I experience) in my life with me. So IN A SENSE there is no loss.

I believe when you die you scatter, like a kicked sack of marbles.

Instances of someone intentionally disappearing and never again contacting family are extremely rare, she said.


Without over 100,000 people missing nationwide, how the hell would she know?
