Shit--it's not a bloody disease--it's a result of fear of death--major losses like Nabokov's Mother--living during Great Depression--under a junta, losing all.

In any case that TV show blames the victims.

My kids tried to hoist it on me. Ms Two Cents T.

Woman in this article had Stage 4 Colon Cancer--I had Stage 3.

You are going to deny a dying woman her books?

GTFOH.

In Burma a dying man was denied a Bible on his deathbed by his :Buddhist" wife.

In USA a man who later died--his Buddha images and his whiskey bottles were put in trash bags and put out on the street by his Muslim wife.He died, a mutual friend said,of cancer and heartbreak.

STOP this organized bullying of the weak, the infirm, the dying.

It's cruel,that's all, and unwarranted.

In Thailand,it's different.

The last time I saw Beloved Aunt, her daughter took us out to hot pot lunch.

A man,a stranger, held up a string of electric lights as I helped her, someone brought a chair.

In Chiangmai, the traffic was too wild to cross. I asked forhelp from a crowd of school girls in green skirts with white blouses.

They took me across, shepherded by the beautiful sheep.

Big thank you.

Bullying,incld on media--is a sign of inferiority complexes.

Like so and so, who does not want to meet my friends--one lives in the Watergate--another lives near South Street and Society Hill in Philadelphia.

I'm not associating with them bc they have money. It'sbc I've known them since I was 7 or8 (their father) and their mother since I was about 20. And the 2nd generation since I was 40. I am now in my 8th decade.
