3 out of 100 people who have had the vaccination are still susceptible to it. We already saw a complete unwillingness to even attempt to stop covid, and that affects some people for years. It is only a matter of time before something more harmful comes along and people still refuse to do anything about it. I see no evidence that we would do any better with another flu like the Spanish Flu, for example.

I guess so. I consider freely being able to form devoted relationships part of life. I wasn't aware there were people that didn't or that it needed to be explained. If you are preventing yourself from doing so then you are not experiencing life fully and therefore not living. It is like you have exiled yourself.

If a person's spouse truly wished that for them, then perhaps one should honour it. But we don't know about how their relationship was before so aren't in a position to make the decision. Is it wrong if your late wife tells you to date other people after she is gone? We don't know anything about them.

Men have a much harder time being single than women do. This was recently proven in a study. Your response is exactly what I'm talking about. If being single is not living to him, then you are doing the exact same thing. You want him to end living. And you just told yourself to fuck yourself. I am surrounded by men in their 50's and 60's that are bitter every day because they have no one. Not surprisingly, they are the most supportive in this situation. If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you are with.

This tells me they aren't thinking it through. Say you are looking for a cancer spot that is 3 pixels by 3 pixels. What are the chances of finding it if you are only saving every 10th pixel? This is very telling that the topmost thing on their minds is saving/making money over actually doing something really well.

I look around me in this world and making an effort seems to accomplish very little, to be fair. I work around 60 hours a week and do all kinds of extra stuff such as automating the things I am supposed to be doing so they take hours less. I look around me and after years of putting these things in my performance reviews I make no more than people around me that do the minimum. You only seem to get extra credit for anything if you were born into the right family, and then it doesn't matter if you are good or bad at what you are doing, the money speaks for itself. This may be a cynical view but I doubt you could convince me I'm wrong with real world examples.

I have personal experience with a very similar situation. It's a sad fact when your spouse dies that people will blame the survivor for living. That is just life. Life also does not stop when a loved one dies. A human can both mourn and deeply miss the one they lost and still have.a life with another. I can't imagine any healthy marriage where a spouse would want their significant other to stop living after they were gone. It is disrespectful for anyone else to expect it, most of whom have never even been in the situation.
