"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough! It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death. What's that, a bonus?!? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first; get it out of the way. Then you go live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young; go collect your entire pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, then you finish off as an orgasm! Amen."


:lol:

Interesting, but don't you think that would be like drowning for the last nine months of your life. Being away from all the people you loved through your life? I think the life cycle is fine, but it's what we make of it. Some people are thrown some pretty crappy curve balls through life, cancer, disease etc. but we can always be positive. That is a choise.

Tora, it was meant to be a joke... but anyways, if you are getting younger and younger, and become a fetus, you'll need those fluids anyways hence you won't drown...

And read the part about being carefree... I think you've already lost most of your knowledge by then (otherwise, you won't be carefree). But enough about this. . . I just thought I'd share... :p

Hahaha thats funny man hehe
I do kinda agree with that though........ life should be carefree near the end......instead of worrying about death

what if we try to get those who die at an early age a reversed life cycle, ? i mean, those guys would then know how much time they have left, when they are young to start off with too?

I realize that is a joke (although there isn't really a punch line), I was just putting out another side...more serious in case anyone wanted to take the topic further. I think if we live our lives in a positive way we can have carefree years. I know plenty of elder folk who welcome death as they have accomplished great things during life. Anyways, I'll try and be a little more shallow in the future and not take these jokes seriously.

I think Tora here is living proof of the old getting younger!! :p:lol:

"now eat yer veggies or no desert for you!!!"

~Ashton :D

Haa....does that mean I will get my hair back??

My friend sent me this story, quite meaningful:)

READ THIS. LET IT REALLY SINK IN.

THEN CHOOSE HOW YOU START YOUR DAY TOMORROW.
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.

When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!"

He was a natural motivator.

If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the
positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one
day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don't
get it! You can't be a positive person all of the
time. How do you do it?"

Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say
to myself, you have two choices today.

You can choose to be in a good mood or ...
you can choose to be in a bad mood.
I choose to be in a good mood.

Each time something bad happens, I can
choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining,
I can choose to accept their complaining or...
I can point out the positive side of life.
I choose the positive side of life.

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about
choices.

When you cut away all the junk, every situation
is a choice.
You choose how you react to situations.

You choose how people affect your mood. You
choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.

The bottom line: It's your choice how you live
your life."

I reflected on what Michael said. Soon
hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my
own business. We lost touch, but I often thought
about him when I made a choice about life instead
of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Michael was
involved in a serious accident, falling some 60
feet from a communications tower.

After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive
care, Michael was released from the hospital with
rods placed in his back.

I saw Michael about six months after the
accident. When I asked him how he was, he
replied. "If I were any better, I'd be twins.
Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him
what had gone through his mind as the accident
took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was
the well-being of my soon to be born daughter, "
Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground,
I remembered that I had two choices: I could
choose to live or ...I could choose to die.
I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?"
I asked.

Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great.
They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But
when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the
expressions on the faces of the doctors and
nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I
read
"he's a dead man. I knew I needed to take
action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting
questions at me," said Michael. "She asked if I
was allergic to anything.

"Yes, I replied." The doctors and nurses stopped
working as they waited for my reply. I took a
deep breath and yelled, "Gravity."

Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing
to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not
dead."

Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his
doctors, but also because of his amazing
attitude. I learned from him that every day we
have the choice to live fully.

Attitude, after all, is everything.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has
enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about
yesterday.

death..... that's the price you pay for being alive.

can't believe I read all that!!:p :lol:

Deedeedum~ :)

Keiflo (hmm....could be a new air filter type), you are so deep at 6:30 in the morning. Do you sleep??
