Off Topic The meaning of life

What would you deem as a successful life?

Lots of ways to assess it, like religious people will choose different parameters to an Olympian for example, but for us, everyday man in the street.

I don't really think there is a 'why' for people's existence, you just are, then you get a bit of time to do what you want, try not to **** things up, then off you pop... the middle bit, have as much fun as you can and pass on something to those you leave behind, to make their life easier/better.

 

If you have lead a basically problem free life
That is no health is money worries.
When you reach older age and have health problems that's when all the problems begin.
Money and comfotabiliy means nowt
If your in poor health.

 

Everybody has poor health at some point, even those who are hit by a bus, temporarily have poor health.

My way of life is to make sure the control is in my own hands, so I can't rely on gov't or others to look after me.

If I get sick, I'd rather be chucked in a skip than put in a home.

 

There's no way the government will look after me.
I've paid my dues all my life and get nowt off the government
I can't stand the greedy bastards
The take of normal people and give it to them selves

 

They're not reliable mate, people are living longer, they have less money to use.

When the hand-outs dry up, the country will become less appealing, maybe then a revolution.

 

Yeh they give me nowt

 

Couldn't agree more mate. My old fella is in a home, been there 4 years now and god bless him, if my old fella of 6 years ago could see himself now, he'd shoot himself. He has Vascular Dementia by the way. It just strips away all your dignity and leaves behind an empty shell. **** that!!!. I've told my kids (and I know they won't do it) that if I get like that just take me out and get me pissed and stoned and then chuck me off the bridge. I'd rather go like that than suffer what my father is going through.

Health is everything mate and it doesn't matter what your wealth is, some diseases and illnesses just can't be cured no matter how much money you have.

 

To be in control of my own destiny, without the charity of others, is all I can hope for in the time I have left.

That and lot's of expensive holidays in exotic places, bucket loads of the right alcohol into the right situation, and to be surrounded by beautiful women until my last day.

Oh and my last dying words to be, for God's sake Kylie, Danni, you're killing me!!!

 

Wife and I not far of eighty and still sprightly(ish). We've had our days and got a steady way of life over here and heading off on holiday in June. No lids going on our boxes yet.

 

To me if I have the love and respect of my family I don't need anything else in life.....

 

A lot of it id way to serious for me. Been back in the uk for 2 weeks now. Its like a parallel universe.

 

Get over yersel ! No way you're getting in there before me pal!!!

 

Considering it was your dying wish, I ****ing hope not I'm not ready yet mate and there's still plenty of life in this old dog yet. Fingers crossed

Which one would you do first? I reckon i'd go for Danni and keep Kylie for round two, obviously after a massive lesbian show.

 

Aye. Me too

 

Tough choice.

Tough tough choice

Nah not really!! Whichever one threw themselves at me first

 

I'd like to start with Kylie sitting on my face while Danni is blowing me

 

A good woman, good friends, good holidays and a loving pet at home who is the happiest dog in the world every time you walk in the house.

 

Laugh, love, **** and drink liquor.
