I was diagnosed with lung cancer, and the doctor gave me a ton of meds, nebulizers, oxygen. Except i dont feel like im living anymore, so much as my corpse which hasnt quite died yet is still alive. I can feel like i can still do stuff, but the limitations are still there, im just hiding symptoms. It feels so demoralizing and depressing

Have you read any books about death? The the Tibetan book of the dead or other esoteric stuff? It sucks that you might die early but everybody dies. It sounds like a death is a wild ride. No matter what you have done in your life, you did exactly what you were supposed to do.

Is there anything you can do that you wish to do while still here and alive?

Consider doing at least one thing on your bucket list if you can because fuck cancer.

I’ll pray for you.

That is fucking idiotic. Did Jack the Ripper do what he was supposed to do? Stalin? Charles Manson? Don't be silly.

Everyone has their place, everyone has their purpose. The universe is a yin and a yang.

It is argued that if the world was nothing but good or nothing but evil it would cease to exist at all. The balance of good and evil is what keeps the fabric of reality together.
