That is absolutely beautiful Lardi. May your open mind and acceptance of life give you eternal peace.
It appears to make sense, though not perhaps if taken literally. Generally, I think the majority of relationships are improved if both partners recognise that some ground must be given from what each would consider the ideal (from their own point of view). Any relationship where one party has everything their way and the other party is genuinely happy with that, would not be a very healthy one in my view. The best relationships in my experience are those where giving to please the other party is joy in itself - equally for both sides.
Is the correct answer. Give and earn would be correct, for if we take that puts us in conflict with the first rule of thermodynamics, basically, you cannot get something for nothing.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less. Marie Curie In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. Theodore Roosevelt
Marie Curie is one of the few inventors that died from cancer, though she didn't help matters by carrying radio active isotopes in her pockets. The current chances of someone in the Western World developing cancer is 50%, but just 2,8% for inventors. Inventors also live longer and have better long term health. My research into this helped me to find the coding of cancer. Research papers available.[/QUOTE]
When I was a kid, for sixpence you could go to the cinema, buy a bag of chips and still have enough left for your bus fare home. ps. And Wagon Wheels were a metre in diameter.
Showing your age. The saying was first recorded in Punch in 1869, and in that year the aforementioned items would not leave you enough for your bus fare home.
My body may show the ravages of age, but I think no differently than I did 50 years ago. If I became a pop star that would be a great swan song, much more edifying that a 5 years music career that ends at the age of 25 and then you spend the rest of your life trying to better it. I mean to go out on a high.
I recall taking empty glass bottles to get a deposit back when I was a nipper. And the bus fare for our weekly shopping expedition being in old money. And those shiny ticket machines the conductors on the Routemasters used to have...
Yes, I used to pick up lemonade bottles from the football terraces for the deposit. Also take old clothes round to a firm which reused them, would weigh them and give me some change. We would also go round the phone boxes pressing buttons A and B, and sometimes change would popout. Once a Half Crown came out, and I can still remember the sheer joy. All the money went on sweeties.
I don't look that old, plus I'm a bit fit (kick boxing / weights). plus I still roller skate and climb trees. Old is an attitude that can be adopted at any age. My teeth are 125 years old, all 6 them.
If you can fill your head with good thoughts, your concept of time becomes less defined, and even more so if you embrace the chaos that sometimes fragments order. Age is about how we live, not how long we live.
