Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 " So really the question for all of us who tread the tail of this tiger on a regular basis is how comfortable we are with the inevitability of our own deaths? " Ah well, now HERE'S a subject.... Presumably the message thread has to do with " overdoing " activity and risking the success of the implant. Let's reframe this particular debate. Death will come to all of us. There is no doubt about that. I have no idea of the age and/or experience of the writer of the above quote -- but I have seen Death up close and personal and though I am awed by the " passing " of a human being -- I am not " comfortable " with it. Neither the deaths I've witnessed nor my own inevitable demise. I do not know what is on the " other side " of that transition. However, insofar as risking the hip resurfacing surgery in pursuit of Warrior status, the question becomes this: How comfortable are you with more surgeries on your hip, a possible THR and all the restrictions that would put upon the warrior activities? The Warrior archetype is not an undisciplined being. Quite the contrary. The Warrior is the embodiment of self-discipline and applied wisdom who has the courage to do what's needed despite the intrusion of the Ego. So the question becomes: Wisdom or Ego? To whom do we listen? Joyce, (Dr Gross, LHR, 2/2/04) sungold518@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
