I'm not dying
Not that I know of
Except to the extent of any other person
Let's Say I'm in the middle of the curve maybe
But doesn't everyone on their deathbed
Want to say
Like in the Frank Sinatra song
"I did it my way"
I know I do
And that way
Is hurting the least people possible
And loving and helping all those I can
Along the way
If I can
In any which way that I can
And hopefully in a way most beneficial to them*
Simple
And yet so hard
* i always hate (but totally understand) when people help in the way they want to help, but not necessarily in the way help is needed. I did that once, or very recently I should say, when I offered gently used toys and clothes to this homeless encampment and they told me they didn't need that. That they needed real necessities; food, water, sundries and money. It was honest. Why accept something not needed? I need to find somewhere else that can use those things; because that need is out there somewhere.
