What Would You Do?

[smicky]

Id go nuts and do everything and more!

Simple!

Kinda do already in some ways just cos I think there is so much to give a go, just pace myself instead of cramming!

Its your life anyways may as well do everything you can when you can!

I dont have a crystal ball so who knows wat will happen in the next 5 mins!

Some one said the following to me once.

"whatever you do, dont live for the living but live for life itself"

But inthe same instance.

"To truly fear nothing, you must love nothing, and if you love nothing what joy is there in youre life?"

This is pretty deep scar...

Im not gonna comment coz I havent had a good think about it, I do often think about some pretty deep sh*t though and think im pretty level headed and experienced for my age. The question we should all ask ourselves (and its highly likely that some of you already do is - What is life all about/for?)

I do however, think that as a result of reading this thread after a coupla bevvies (or not) that someone on this site will change there life for the better so good onya for startin it!

Cheers.

If I was married with kids... I would wanna spend as much time with them as I could no matter what... And my family... I would also wanna have some sort of insurance so that they wouldn't live the rest of their lives in poverty. I would wanna make sure my wife knows that she could move on and I would want her to find someone that makes her happy... And my kid/s know how much their dad loved them and how he would have done anything for them....

I honestly think having kids changes your whole perspective on life. You know longer care about small things... Your main concern is looking after them... If you thought you loved your girlfriend or partner, wait till you have a kid... You would do anything for them...

My 2 cents...

I saw this and have two kids of my own, I feel the exact same way, you're spot on mate. They take the piss out of you but the little smiles and cheeky faces they make are worth it and priceless. NOTHING beats having a kid.

I dont think anyone can honestly answer this question unless they were in the situation...

A close friend of mine has recently been told he has inoperable cancer and given a few maybe less years to live after going into remission a few years ago when he had half his stomach and half of his asphogas removed, he's given away his day job and retired but carrying on as best he can as if nothing is wrong with him. Whilst he's not a rich man he owns his flat and lives comfortably or as comfortably as a person can in his position.

mate wish you all the best.I went through a hard time this time last year,all I,m going to say is you can only control yourself,what you think is right for you may not be right for them, no one makes you feel what you feel, only you make yourself feel what you feel. What you make of a sitution doesn't really matter ,If you want to help this person listen and let them do as they please,if I was in that postion I would like my friends to stand by me and allow me to do as I please what ever that may be, wrong or right. Just be a friend and stand by them would be the best thing you could do in my eyes .All the best Nick

Hmmm... I thought about this a lot last night...

The stuff in the media has been a little screwed lately... I feel for people who have to go through sh*t like this...

When I saw that a 3 year old had been mauled to death by dogs and her baby sister was hanging on for her life... It gutted me... All I could do is think about if I could handle it if it happened to my daughter? Don't know if I could... Then you read about parents giving their kids 1/2 an ecstacy tablet... "But it was only half"... Poor baby had a heart attack... And the father in WA who killed his 4 month old... Sometimes things in the world are just f*cked up... And you can't deal with the situation unless you are in it.

Personally, I think it is hard to watch someone go through something like this... I guess you just have to support them... Be there for them... Try to create some memories that will last forever...

I think its best not to judge them... Unless they are affecting and f*cking up someone else's life... Maybe then you need to sit down and have a chat... Bring the reality back to them...

Let's just say this thread has really made me think what is important in my life and what pales in to insignificance...

I agree that we all need to have a reality check regularly.

My dad died 5 months ago, he was 68. He was the first person close to me that died and it hit me hard.

He died instantly from a heart attack, but I am sure he knew he had heart disease. We mentioned that he did not look well, but he always had an excuse like flu or a stomach bug.

He lived life to the fullest, even going out to dinner with his girlfriend the night he died.

We as humans only get one life, we need to appreciate every day and make sure we are getting good value from our lives.

If I was given a short time to live, the only things I would do is make sure all my affairs were in order and make some videos for my kids to remember me with. Give them worldly advice and the like.

There is no guarantee that we are going to live for more than the next second. You could be diagnosed with a terminal disease and then get hit by a bus and killed.

Treat each day as if it is your last and you will not get upset when it is your last day.
