| But, anything can happen to you! At any time! I bet that everyone on
this
| list has at least one kind of insurance: health, life, property, car,
| disability--you name it.
How much did you bet?
I hope you didn't bet your life insurance 'cause you lost.
I have no insurance whatsoever! I have no car, my rented flat has no
insurance, I do not contribute to any kind of Social Security service so...
no health insurance, no nothing!
When I die (or if?) no life insurance will bring me back to life... nor make
my wife realize how "dear" I was to her! ;-)
So far, I can be sure that when I retire, no state nor any financial
organization will give me a farthing.
I just went to do a simple health check (the recent thread on health got me
worried ;-) ) and I paid the full cost of it out of my own pocket.
The only consolation I have is that if the next earthquake destroys
completely my building, I may get some $ from the government's Natural
Disaster Relief Fund, maybe just enough to buy new clothes...
But then I guess I have won your life insurance, haven't I?
| Living in Canada automatically gives you will
| state-provided health insurance, which I am sure that you wouldn't eschew
if
| you needed emergency health care.
Hehe, maybe I should move to Canada! (peut-etre au Quebec, pourquoi pas?)
Meanwhile, your husband is welcome to come to visit me at my home if he has
anything to give (beside the life insurance I just won!) :-)
| People get insurance because they are able understand that bad things can
| happen to good people. This isn't pessimism--it is pragmatism.
I am not saying that I'll never have any insurance... but for now, my kind
of pragmatism leads me not to worry about all the "bad" things that could
happen to a "good" person like me. (Of course I am good! How doubted it?)
During the past year or two, I have been dropping one kind of worry after
the other, as if I was peeling an onion layer after layer... During the same
period also, I have learned to drop my fear of eternal damnation ;-) , fear
of the fire of hell, I have given up my impatience to be enlightened.
Angelique recently helped me to polish up the work: being Kundalini
enlightened or not (which today is still an open question) no longer matters
to me. I now just know that things are just are as they should be. I just
Am, Kundalini just Is. ... the point here being that I no longer fear hell
for eternity... so in comparison, why should I be worried about this single,
miserable bodily life?? I just Am and all the shit that has happened to me
recently has been a learning experience... so why try avoiding it?
Therfore I am not quite ready to take on new worries.
During the last TEN DAYS, I have been woken up THREE TIMES by an earthquake,
one quite strong that prompted my to phone my parents to tell them I was
alright and that they don't need to worry should they hear the news.
The utter unpredictability of earthquakes (and the fact that no contribution
will protect me from them nor resurrect me nor my wife if it is in our Karma
to be crushed in the next one) is teaching me how fragile bodily life is and
that worrying about it will not help at all. So I learn to invest into my
spiritual life (against which earthquakes have no power.)
| If you're
| employed, most employers include life and disability insurance in the
| benefits package that you get, because they know that reasonable people
want
| these things. I have two kids, and I have a lot more peace of mind
knowing
| that there is insurance on my life and on my husband's life. This is
called
| being a responsible adult.
| Isadora
LOL!
I guess I am nor reasonable nor responsible!
Maybe I have yet to become an adult.
I have one other reason not to worry about my health insurance or my
retirement fund: other people do it for me!
Several of my family member told me they are worrying about it and that I
should get something done... (by the way, my family is the only insurance I
have: should a big shit really happen, I always can rely on them... and I
did not pay for it... so maybe I am really not a responsible adult... and
that also mean that you maybe won your bet after all as I have at least this
kind of insurance. You just saved yourself a life long contribution to my
life insurance.... and that's good news for you because I guess I'll live as
long as Methuselah!)
Maybe, maybe, after all, the only kind of insurance worth having, and your
husband can compute for me the price to pay for it, ... I was saying that
the only insurance worth having is that of our Inner Mother, the divine
within us.
I live without financial safety net... and it teaches me to be that more
much trusting towards the cosmic divinity that I am!
Regards to your husband,
Augustin.
