By Purplesque via - well, others. Go read her post here.

I had a long post, based on Today is a good day to die (qapla!) Yes, I know. It is a stolen phrase and it has 7 words (8 if you count Qapla!).

And it's not that I want to die - far from it. Lotsa life left in me yet!

I just think we fear death too much now. Shit, I DO NOT WANT to be 85, incontinent, incapable and kept alive by machines because it can be done. I want to die with dignity. And to me, that is what Today is a good day to die is about. Being willing to give up life. To know death has a place in living - there can be no living without dying.

But shit - that's not really a life memoir, is it - more a way of living, an attitude to how to conduct one's life.

Then it hit me.

I have never followed the rules.

Six words, and so, so true.
