Should you think about your duty, or about the consequences of your actions? Or should you concentrate on becoming a good person?

A few lead, some follow, others just get in the way.


Your choice.

Bill, each of us are honored and privileged to learn from YOU, the GIF master. Some are overly modest, but I feel confident that I speak for all when I say Us! And We!

You ask me: Has it been worth it?"!!
To gain this incredible gift of life....
To be aware of the most amazing universe ever created...
To be part of the fantastic chain that we call life...
To experience the joys and pains of this journey through life...
And you ask me: "Was it worth it?" !!!!!

You just promote the kind of thinking that produces Trump supporters.

I thought Bill was talking about dancing.

:roll:

Trump is not an ideologue to past positions, as Cruz has recently demonstrated with a skillful debate trap that Trump wallowed into. This scares the hell out of people because the current quasi-dictator has set a new bar on executive power. Who to choose, the proven criminal with the abrasive and hectoring voice who will continue with past abuses of the constituion, or the one with the potential to Trump the amateur with even greater impunity? Hmmm. Let's see.

:wink:

And thank you. Your non-correction of our poor grammar in the previous posting does not go unnoticed.

Walker. A free tip on the matter of syntax. One should never use a preposition with which to complete a sentence.

== " a skilful debate trap into which Trump wallowed" is the correct form and anything less than grammatical purity is something up with which we should not put.

Thank you. Most grateful, stuffy as that usage sounds to the default informality of this age in which we, all of us, live. The only age that truly they is.

As I am learning from the thread master, I would encourage you to not limit your repertoire of teachable wisdom to mere words, for you have demonstrated there is much within you, if given just a bit of a kindly squeeze. Cha cha cha.

Alas my best squeezing days lie in the recesses of my past but I retain enough of my neural network to recall them with great fondness.

Yes. Overall it's been a wash between pain, suffering and those very few but precious fleeting moments of exhilaration.


What has made my life worth it, for me, is the few focused weeks of my original study of a philosophical discipline described in the works of Ouspensky. And the subsequent deep understanding that happened to me in a math class when I was 20 or so.


Think about death constantly now...now that I am near. I realize that NOTHING I have, nothing I posses in my mind, nothing that I have worked for matters...nothing.






How bout you? Has your life been worth it?

Has Arising_uk's life been worth it or not? The anticipation is killing me.
