I'm confused about your response to my comment to corbe. I'm not sure what the connection is, but if I've left the impression that my life has been a charmed one, I apologize. Nothing could be further from the truth.
@AllThatJazzZ I have never suggested that you or anyone else has never known any pain. There are many types of pain. Some psychic,and some physical.
There are even many degrees of both types of pain.
The pain I am speaking of I refer to "I want my mama pain". You will know it immediately if you are ever so unfortunate to experience it.
Most people can take it if it comes only ocassionally and lasts a short time,but I am here to testify that that when you experience it more minutes and hours of the day than you don't and it just doesn't seem like it is ever going to go away,you might come to welcome the sweet release of death.
Especially if you are over 70 and have a host of other physical problems.
Not judging ANYBODY,but it is a simple truth. We all are individuals,and we all have different levels of pain we can deal with on a daily,or even hourly basis,but when you reach your limit,"There you are."
