The days drag and the years fly by.

There is no greater proof there is no god/gods at all is bad things happening to good people, and good things happening to bad people.

The word is shield not absolve. .

That being a good person doesn't prevent you from doing bad things, even if you honestly thought you did nothing wrong.

The word 'protect' would be more fitting than the word 'absolve' (in which case, #5 and #6 are basically saying the same thing)... unless the post was supposed to say something like "we're not just gonna forget what a d**k you were before just because you're nice now!" Either way - poorly phrased.

Not a "proof" at all.

Or anyone.

Well... Going through a breakup now and yes...

Oh the first point in the follow up just goes to show you how the Trumpcunt got into the whitehouse and still manages to convince the less mentally able amongst you Americans that he is the saviour of your country ( spoiler, no he's not, he's a liar, thief, narcissist and only interested in enriching himself and his already financially bloated ugly chums) : I'm not saying that Biden is any better but at least he seems decent. Oh, and you guys really need to put an upper age limit on who can run for president ..... say 65 for openers.

You fail in life. It's how you learn. Bet you didn't walk at birth. Eventually you can run. Even if you can run you may trip sometimes. Get up and keep going cause there is so much in life to see and experience

Why shouldn't I cherish them earlier? Sure I don't know what the last moments are, but I can cherish every good moment nonetheless...

Also, remember that not all hobbies are there for gain. I have two main "hobbies" now, garden and archery. I will never get anything for archery and that is fine. With garden... well, I have a lots of zucchini every year, but I'm really trying to get bell peppers and tomatoes this year. But even if I will get nothing again, just preparing the garden was well-spent time.

Finally something true!

Yes they do, I can assure you.

That is an electrifying statement

Success is not something measured by materialistic gains. It is measured by the amount happiness, friends and family.

Thanksgiving is a great opportunity but not the only one. There are 365 days a year to love your parents.

If you teach your children to enjoy reading, looking for beauty, being outside, and being creative, they will not be ground down by anything.

And wisdom is wasted on the old

My parents siblings or relatives never sat down with me and told me how much aging sucks.

Money and socioeconomic class mean a lot in success. So keep that in mind as you are grinding to get to the top and be a bit more patient with yourself.

That's good. Who want's to get remembered? After a few generations nobody will remember you. The only people that are remembered long... are mostly the ones who did really bad things.

Your job is to make sure the plusses outweighed the minuses when the relationship ends.

It all depends on where you live. Urban Chicago or New York? Dystopia. Rural south Dakota? Heaven.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Random chance is a different story.

I don't agree with this one. While many acquire additional wisdom as they age, I have met children who were wise beyond their years as well as older people who were devoid of wisdom.

But we don’t have to let the suffering define us

Stop trying to find a reason for everything.

I was homeless, I own a home now. Things can change

A life well lived isn’t about memories. It is about affecting those near you in a positive way, making a small but definite difference in their lives and thereby giving meaning to your own.

If you feel like this, reach out and get help.

Hey, take a long run off a short pier.

To make something of the time, that is given. For themselves. For yourself. There is nothing else.

Bad attitude. Take me as an example. In 2019 I decided that I want to learn to play some instrument. I decided to buy a ukulele (with thought "how hard it can be, it has only 4 strings after all") and I gave it a try. I learned few chords and gave it a try and I was pretty rubbish, honestly. But who cares? I got little bit better after some time, so I took it to work to practice during night shifts. And after a one or two shifts, I realized three things. First, it is funny instrument. Everyone wanted to give it a try. Second, some of my colleagues were pretty good with music. Third, I didn't make good music, but I pushed somebody else to grab a guitar again and make good music. It even looked like they will start a band (but then Covid happened). You don't need to be great (or good), you can still make a change.

Your attitude determines your altitude. Nothing is cast in stone.
