Think twice, good friends, before blindly accepting the advice of the medical profession. They are only human after all.
In the following article on CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/24/NotDead.ap/index.html) a young man says he “feels pretty good” after being pronounced dead. Apparently after a wreck this 21 year old was comatose for four months and then declared brain dead. As the family was paying their last respects, the fellow wiggled some limbs. Fortunately, he was able to communicate in some small way because they were just about to harvest his organs. The irony is he stated, "Just makes me thankful, makes me thankful that they didn't give up…". Mr. Dunlap, I would like to point out that had you not moved your appendages, currently you would be spread across America in igloo coolers.
Can you say “Living Will” boys and girls???

Insecure????
We all have insecurities. If you say, you don’t then you are unable to feel and should be discharged from the gene pool.
Back to the insecurity generalization. If one genuinely cares for other people as a whole, then they will feel insecure about their placement within society. Hence, insecurities. Again, if you have no insecurities then you don’t care what your fellow man thinks of you and you are unable to feel compassion or empathy…jump out of the pool.
The question is, how do we handle our insecurities so we can still fit in with society (without being a rambling idiot). Stop feeding them. All insecurities need food for growth. If you continually act in such a way to feel poorly about yourself, you are feeding the beast. Make an effort to live with no regrets. If you can wake up each day knowing you did the best you could, the insecurities shrivel and die. However, if you act in a way that you know is wrong, you will feel poorly about yourself and the insecurity will grow.
