Relief when both Mom and Dad died. Mom had Alzheimer's, and Dad suffered immense pain. Not only would I not want to burden needlessly those around me, but I don't believe it's godly to hold on to the very last breath. My wish is to pass the way of my beloved dogs.
It is interesting how deep the chasm is between those who love Trump and those who hate Trump. There's no middle ground. Even writing the word "Trump" will send heads spinning. Be honest, those on the left are idiots and I wouldn't waste my time.
Related to this, there's a book (doctor written) titled "Overdiagnosed".
Learn about NNT, number needed to treat for a single person to receive benefit. Or how scanning machines (CT, MRI) can find something wrong with anyone.
I was recommended a book titled "Overdosed". This article pretty much sums up what I've read so far. One idea in the book is called "NNT", number needed to treat to stop one bad outcome. Turns out, some of these meds we're on have a NNT of 100 to stop 1 person having a bad outcome. But the research and statistics can be explained in a way that makes the outcome a lot more favorable than the reality. Hence the book "Overdosed".
I love this article. Thank you, Kristine.
Though I love my alone time, I often read how being alone leads to depression, blah blah bad, it's never-ending. Life is good, I'm not sure if most of the depression articles are well-meaning, or more so just further clickbait.

When I see someone walking toward me, I’m the one who always vears off. So if two people are walking on a sidewalk, I will walk on the grass.

Not sure why Robert is getting downvotes. He's just trying to express his thoughts, I don't think he is denigrating Kristine in any way.
