Philosophically it is all interesting to ponder, but don't spend too much time on it. If I can share, my husband has two serious chronic illness -- Diabetes (43 years, he got it when he was 1) and Adult-onset Asthma about 12 years ago. He is falling apart, major systems are going and we as a family must cope with all of it everyday. My 12-year-old has probably struggled the most, and in fact, after months of therapy for anxiety, he finally was able to talk about his father's impending death...not today or tomorrow, but most likely in less than 5 years, if that long. His therapist gave him the best advice on a kid level I've heard: "re: Nintendo. In life, we don't have the "god code" so we don't get unlimited life. So make every shot, every move count. Use the time you have to do the most you can."

If you think about it, it isn't "beating" the game we all like so much, it is playing it.Please think about living...at least as much as dying. (OK, so it's a mom thing!)*smile*
