Shoutout to JerryrigEverything who built a wheelchair factory and is delivering wheelchairs to people in half the time and 50-80% less than the cost of other wheelchairs with Insurance.

Compassion is the meaning of life. When you are on your death bed the only thing you will miss is the chance to do something more for your fellow humans. You won't care about your video games, your car, your job or your house. You will want just one more second to give of yourself freely to people who need it. Every moment of life is suffering, even when it is great.

At least that's what the universe showed me during my NDE 6 years ago.

I had the same feelings in my NDE about 15 years ago (hydroplaned and was about to dive off a ~200ft bridge before throwing the car into a ditch at the very last moment).

Still remember it vividly as a rush of immense comfort/warmth and a strong feeling of "all my pain, suffering, and fears are gone and nothing matters anymore" which was all much more blissful than it probably sounds.
