Hello Oshiro and all, You're right that it is a tough question to answer. Anyone who has had near death experience will probably tell you they had some sort of flashing back visions of their past...of things they enjoyed and feared most. It shall be easier for them to give us the answers.
I had such experience twice.All I was thinking about at that dreadful moment is that I didn't take the chance to tell those dear to me I loved them before death and I was so scared that it was going to be too late...:( But I wouldn't like to spend my last day shopping for cars,properties or jewellery since I wouldn't be able to use them anyway.LOL I'd rather do something which I long to do but was too afraid to try before,say bungee jumping,parachute diving,surfing or something else crazy!;) It is me who decided to part from this close friend of mine.It's neither for a selfish reason nor for any disagreement. Sometimes when we love someone deep enough,it's the best to let them go...free... I don't know if you can understand me on this point...;) About this 'law of compensations,'it only occurred to me after you mentioned it. 'Something lost and something gained...,'isn't it? I got back in touch with this ancient close friend of mine thanks to Facebook!We talked for 2 hours yesterday as if we were never parted...;) She made me feel nostalgic...so many memories... And 'memories' are something no one can ever take away from you. Seize the day,and create as many unforgettable ones as possible,especially on your trip to Europe with your girlfriend,Oshiro!!!;) Best wishes to you two and all other members!
