Does most of humanity take life for granted?

or does it move along so slowly they have no choice in the matter?

I love this question.it is a compelling subject yet I will make no judgement call here , which is what it would end up being, or offering any of my years of insight or wisdom, or understanding , there is so much I can say, but wont. all I know is that except for the grace of God, there go I, I aint no Paragon of virtue. S til,l I love the question, and I am sure it will have some very good responses and various takes on the subject

was that an answer?

happy new year everyone

When you're young it seems that you have all the time in the world to do all things you want to do. You think time is on your side and you don't worry about wasting time because it seems like you have so much of it. But as you get older you realize that there is more time behind you than in front of you. That's when you have to make every day count.

When you say humanity, that includes people who are in horrendous situations all over the globe. I don't know what the numbers are as to if they are most of humanity or if there are more people like us who are comfortable by comparison. I guess I'd have to just say many many people don't take life for granted at all. They have to make a conscious choice to stay alive every day and they have to figure out how to do it. On the other end of the spectrum are those people that live beautiful lives being generous and figuring out how to help others. I'd say that type doesn't take life for granted as well. Personally, I can't say I'm 100% either way. I know I don't want to be so oblivious as to take life for granted, but I bet I am plenty of times without realizing it.

That's an interesting philosophical question.

You're The Thinking Man's Fly, aren't you.

Well, looking at an overall view of it,
perhaps people in cultures where, oh, you get to eat,
might take things for granted a bit....

whereas, perhaps people in cultures and/or locations, where,
oh, say, they're all freakin' starving...
they may more take horrible pain of starvation for granted,

which doesn't really sound like the same thing, not to me anyway.

I try not to take life for granted.

For a long time I did.
Oh I totally did.

Then my wife died and I damn near almost went with her,
I literally died myself, but they brought me back, the rotten bastards.

So now, I take it one day at a time,
because while I was 'out' God showed me a bit of what Hell can be...

let's just say, it ain't pretty. It ain't that pretty at all.

So I got the message,

Look here you little brat, you're done when I say you're done,
not before. Ya GOT THAT?

Yes Lord. I got that. I got the hell out of it.

Recently, God weighed in and with a precision I can only
call scientific, kinda roughed me up some....

It was ultimately a protocol adjustment.

And now as a result, because I don't want another 'adjustment',
I've done as He wishes, and quit smokin' pot and drinkin' alcohol...

My Two Biggest Tools in taking EVERYTHING For Granted.

Well that was nice while it lasted,
and it lasted a long time...

my wife and I partied like Wild Rabbits
all the 26 years of our marriage.

Then she died.
Partying just wasn't the same anymore and has not been,
I just used it to go comfortably numb.

Well now I'm kinda beaten to shit,
but I'm not exactly numb anymore.

And I'm not taking anything for granted if I can at all help it.
I try to be conscious of every here and now as it
passes from moment to moment.

Like now, for instance,
I'm up at four in the morning,
because a song, well, kinda woke me up,
and before I could take for granted
that I'd remember it in the morning,
I got up and captured it while I could.

Night Night...

I'd say that up to the age of 5 or 6 most of humanity takes life for granted because we don't even understand the concept of life.

Once we develop lasting memories, a conscience, an awareness of things outside ourselves, we feel less secure. We start to ask questions but we're fed different and confusing answers so we lose confidence in humanity knowing what it's up to.

So many rules, so many Gods, so many superstitions, so many choices, too many emotions!

The first time we're faced with illness, death, evil, injustice, unanswered prayers and unfulfilled wishes, we realise life is a one way tightrope where we can slip at any point and maybe getting to the end will be a relief.

But we can't live this one special life in a constant state of fatalistic analysis. Whether life is short lived or 'lasts a lifetime' it's too precious to waste isn't it?

The thing that bothers me is that the learning curve of life is so long and we have to go through so many 'lessons' before we finally get what it's all about.... then __________________________________________________________________

that's it :( Some other poor **** comes along and has to start right back at the beginning and on it goes.

Take NOTHING for granted.

I wake up in a new world every day.

I never expected to hit 30. Then 40, then....and so on til whatever I am now.

That which gave you life, call it God, Destiny, The Universe...or blind chance...whatever...expects something that you can't know...yes, even blind chance, which I do not believe in, by the way...

I feel extremely lucky to be here.

You CAN'T live in perpetual fear, negative expectations, paranoia...it does you no good whatsoever...if you're going to end up flayed alive and left in the snow it does no good to anticipate it, none whatsoever. So just...don't.

There's good reason to believe you will end up as you expect. So expect the best. If it doesn't happen, you've lost nothing.

What brilliant minds we have here in this wondrous community. I feel very honored and lucky to be here.

I have to say, that so much of my life now, involves a faith in following to the best
I can perceive it, God's plan for me. I just had fresh lessons in life, and banged up
as I am, I have more faith in God than ever.

I 'expect' that it's up to God. I don't know how to expect something for myself anymore, I just don't. Too many disappointments, too many chances at the stars which out of being a complete idiot I screwed into the ground one way or another,
I only try to do the best that I can do and leave the rest to God. What will be will be.
I have no more control over it than that. It's up to God. I have just learned to follow instructions a bit better.

Yes I do believe most people in the civilized, developed world
do take life for granted. The more Privileged they are (or think they are),
the more this rings true.

Those in under-developed countries embrace life because for some,
that is the only thing of value the possess.

And people afflicted with illness, such as cancer, will appreciate life more,
to some degree, whether for the time they have left, or if they heal, for their new "birth" to live life again.

But on the flip side of that question, I also think it is human nature
to assume we are indestructible and no harm will befall us.
So we take risks and chances and believe we will wake up each and every morning to do it all again.

As for the bit about cancer, that can go two ways,
and I know people who exhibit both ways...

one is yeah, they embrace life, consider it more precious,
as in the case with a fan and friend of mine who lives in
Tennessee who has blood cancer...

on the other hand, my wife, who pretty much came down
with everything cancer, I mean that shit went to town on her something total,
well she knew her time was up, and just wanted it to be over already.
I understood, so I prayed to God to let her be free, and then she was.

I still miss her terribly,
and wish I'd done a million things differently...

anyone who has someone in their life to love, should never ever ever
ever ever ever take them for granted. trust me. not for a minute.
I didn't even know how lucky I was. I had some idea, but now I REALLY know.

I'm sorry for loss, ALJ. I lost my mother on Nov 17 of this year and she had been sick for over a year. This is one of the reasons I had to stop all my musical projects because it was a full time job taking care of her. My wife and I and my whole family miss her very much and I too have some regrets as to how I could have done some things differently as it relates to her. But hindsight is always 20/20.

I hope to be getting back to finishing my new CD in the new year. I know my mom would have wanted that as she was a big supporter of my music. After I gave the eulogy at her funeral, I sang a Dylan song called "I Remember You". The whole church congregation erupted in loud applause, the first time that had ever happened at a funeral mass held there. BTW-she was 90 and lived a good life.
