Words Of Wisdom!

Memento by Masha Kaleko

Of my own death, I truly have no fear,

only the death of those that I hold dear

how shall I live when they’re no longer there?

Alone in fog, I grope that deathlike path,

and willingly drift off into the dark,

for leaving hurts much less than to remain

Those who have suffered it know well the pain,

so all those who have borne it, please forgive.

For one’s own death is in the end mundane,

but with the deaths of others, one must live.

Don't eat food unless you're hungry.  If you see a pastry or pie give it to me and I will save it for you until after you have eaten your supper.  So it won't spoil your supper.  If it turns up missing I hope another one shows up tomorrow for breakfast.  I will put it somewhere safe so no one will eat it either.  Yum.

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

I've done several different tasks in my life.  The tasks were all that mattered to the people who I worked for.  Until I was worked too hard because of an order I was given to do until the Platoon commander told me to stop.  Now I almost always listening for a topic on a radio station to tune into.  The disk jockeys, or the TV morning show and/or discussion groups.  All trying to get and keep my attention favoring their show over the other; so I tune into their station.

So many topics of discussion I have had a moment with are nothing short  of someone trying to be impelling.  While others try to be compelling demanding I pay for a moment I listened instead of paying for the whole show, when I  was just pausing long enough to find out if I wanted to tune in to their show.

Thanks to the Internet I pay for a connection to any an all discussions once a month.  Anyone who individually are receiving a part of that money I pay are good.  The rest do not have a successful business sponsor or are a unsuccessful sponsor themself.

As of the last census Women outnumber Men by a larger margin then when I was an adult.  Adult census count during 1969 there was seven women age 16 to 20 years of age to so every single male 16 to 20 year old male was outnumbered 7 to 1.

 

Just a Theory!

I couldn't afford to support one gal so that gal probably found another richer guy to help pay for all the stuff she bought along the way up from the vendors on the way to heaven.   And she probably buys more stuff when she gets to heaven where the pretty people parade around in their fancy outfits all day long.

While us guys pay all of it working for a living.  We have to pay taxes as well to keep the road to hell paved and upgraded every year too.  Hell is back at the taxi cab office and call in stations for rental cars all getting calls to give all the pretty people rides out.  Pretty much drives the operator crazy trying to keep up with all the calls for rides.

I may be a joker, but I am not a card.  So you can't play with me!

What am I?

By telling another how to live their life, you forget to live your own.

Came across this in Icewind Dale 2 yesterday. I'm beginning to think that the best things I've learned have been from games using the Infinity Engine...
