> It's kicking a man when he's down. My father in law has had problems on his lungs and heart since I know him. I married my wife 6 years ago. His father was hospitalized at the time (again). He was exceptionally discharged from the hospital to attend the wedding, and went back there the next day. You know what he did while he was there? Distribute cigars. And smoke them. He recently died of pulmonary and heart-related problems. He was 60, but doctors said that his lungs and heart looked like 90. Months before he died, blood was failing to reach his feet, so they gradually had to cut them down: first the toes of one foot. Then the other's. Then a whole foot. Then the other, and part of the leg. It was at this point when his mind started to crack. He started saying that he wanted to die. The last 3 years of his life, he spent 90% of his time at hospitals. At the end, he was a shadow of himself, physically and mentally. At least he could meet his only grandchild once, before he passed away. That is being down. You don't want to be there. Before you get there, anything that deviates you from that path, kicks or whatever else, is a good thing in my view.
