A remarkable text on PD by Norwegian author Torgald Røe.

I came over something on PD on the net today. I honestly do not know whether one should cry or laugh. But, there is something incredible moving with the little text. I provide a translation from Norwegian to English (The original is from a book by Norwegian author Torgald Røe.)

"Arne and I talked about how long it could be possible to hold out the kind of lives we had. He died in August. He hung himself in a bed at the nursing home. Arne was a practical man. He became 60 years old."

I hope to continue being a "broadcaster" of the good news that Jesus is alive and loves us until He is ready for me to come home. Yes, the text is moving but sad that Arne did not experience God as a person who could be trusted to care for him until the end.

What? "He hung himself" and he "was a practical man"??? A bit odd that you not only include laughing as one of your possible reactions, but that you even consider it worth translating/posting here.

We came to this life for a purpose and I believe our mission as human being is to survive until the last breath no matter how worst it gets .

The Arabians say : If the death is inevitable its a shame to die as a Coward without a fight .

I understand the willful Norseman's defiance of his fate. I am of Scandinavian descent, perhaps the mentality is in the genes.

Good to hear Buzz, I started thinking I was the only one to see the sharpness and the descriptive quality in the text :)

We are not humans seeking a spiritual experience

we are spirits seeking a human experience

God gave us this world in which to have an experience

PD is one of the learning experiences God gave us

as we have our experience

God gave us each other

to share this experience

and become more of who we are meant to be

Love > hate
