RE: If you die prematurely, don't you prefer to die for something that's worth it?
I am scared of dying, even though i know its inevitable. that's because its fear of the unknown. In a situation where I have to give my life away to protect the life of a dear one, I would like to think that emotion will take the better of me and I will do it.
However, this fear of death wasn't enough for me to become a smoker. I did quit eventually because I couldn't accept being so foolish that on one hand I was willing to die a slow death knowing very well that cigarettes are harmful and on the other, I was scared of death. I follow a healthy lifestyle in general, try to stay active, don't consume alcohol, try and eat lots of veggies, yet smoking just made no sense to me. So it was hard, but I went cold turkey.
If it's your son or daughter, you would. They are the extension of our lives, the continuation of our genetics, a biological imperative to protect and sustain them over ourselves ;)
Good job on quitting. I don't drink either. Plants are the way to go for health and ethical concern for the lives of other animals who want to live like we do.
Are you vegan/vegetarian? I am very surprised to see so many people here from the vest adopting a vegan diet. Plant diet is surely the healthy way to go, heath, nutrition and calories, all taken care of.
