'I'm as happy as I've ever been in my life': Why some people feel happiness near death


​

There is quite a lot of research suggesting that fear of death is at the unconscious centre of being human. William James, an American philosopher, called the knowledge that we must die "the worm at the core" of the human condition.

But a study in Psychological Science shows that people nearing death use more positive language to describe their experience than those who just imagine death. This suggests that the experience of dying is more pleasant — or, at least, less unpleasant — than we might picture it.

 

A very interesting story:

Leonard Riggio, builder of Barnes & Noble empire, dies at 83


​

Barnes & Noble became so identified as an overdog that one of the 1990s' most popular romantic comedies, "You've Got Mail," starred Tom Hanks as an executive for the "Fox Books" chain and Meg Ryan as the owner of an endangered independent store in Manhattan.

"We are going to seduce them with our square footage, and our discounts, and our deep arm chairs, and our cappuccino," Hanks' character confidently declares. "They're going to hate us at the beginning, but we'll get 'em in the end."

Goodwill stores shutter doors, citing 'escalating theft, rising rents'

"The decision to close these stores was not made lightly," Sparks said in the announcement. "Both locations have experienced a troubling rise in property damage, break-ins, and safety concerns for our employees. These challenges, coupled with rising rent and operational costs, have made it unsustainable to continue operating in these areas."

I still donate to the place but their prices are very high for a 'thrift' store.

 

Never take health tips from world’s oldest people, say scientists

Faragher said both theories, however, resulted in the same warning: “Never, ever take health and lifestyle tips from a centenarian.”
He added: “What you see with most centenarians most of the time – and these are generalisations – is that they don’t take much exercise. Quite often, their diets are rather unhealthy,” noting that some centenarians were also smokers.

I think you might find this story fascinating, Spook ... although I'm sure you've already heard it:

Growler's radar lit up. The enemy ship was headed straight for the sub. The nemesis was Hayasaki, a 920-ton ammunition ship converted to an auxiliary escort. It was armed with one 3-inch and two 25mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as a single 13mm machine gun.

Gen Z-ers Are Computer Whizzes. Just Don’t Ask Them to Type.

Over the past 25 years, the number of U.S. high schools teaching typing has fallen drastically. While about 44% of students who graduated high school in 2000 took a keyboarding course, by 2019 that figure had plummeted to 2.5%, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

Typing was one of my favorite classes in middle school.

John D. Rockefeller (July 8, 1839-May 23, 1937), founder of Standard Oil (Exxon), was once the richest man in the world in his day. He was the first billionaire of his time. When he was young, every decision, attitude, and personal relationship was used to create power and wealth.

By the time he was 25, he had one of the largest oil refineries in the U.S. At the age of 31, he became the largest oil refiner in the world. By the age of 38, he controlled 90% of the refined oil in the US. At 50, John was the richest man in America. He amassed a net worth of at least $1 billion by 1916.

But at 53, he felt ill. His whole body was affected by the pain and he went bald. In utter distress, the world's only millionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only eat soup and cookies.

According to one partner, "John couldn't sleep, he didn't smile, and nothing in life meant anything to him." His doctors - the greatest specialists of the time, stated that he would die in that same year of 1892. The days were painfully slow.

As he felt closer to death, he finally realized that he would not be able to take his fortune to the grave. The man who could dominate the commercial world suddenly realized that he had no control over his personal life. It was then that he informed lawyers, accountants and managers, that he intended to bequeath his assets to hospitals, research and charity.

John D. Rockefeller created the foundation that bears his name. The Rockefeller Foundation funded penicillin research by Howard Florey and his colleague Norman Heatley in 1941. But it can be said that the most incredible aspect of Rockefeller's narrative is that when he began to share part of his fortune, his body chemistry reacted, changed drastically and he recovered.

He who was waiting for death at the age of 53, lived until he reached the age of 98. When Rockefeller died in 1937, his net worth was estimated at $340 billion in today's dollars. Rockefeller learned to be grateful and gave back much of his money to the American people, funding hospitals, museums, universities.

It's one thing to be healed, it's another to stay in shape. He was a devout Christian who attended the Baptist Church on Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio.

Before he died, he wrote in his diary, "God taught me that everything belongs to Him, and I am simply a channel to accomplish His will. My life has been a long and happy party ever since; full of work and play, I put aside my worries along the way, and God was wonderful with me every day."

 

That story is not funny. There is evil in the world.

Yes, there is evil in the world.
