Boring is a relative subject Roakes,

So far I am and have been a Martial Artist, Business Man, Salsa Dancer, Yoga Teacher, Tai Chi Sifu, Meditation "Guru", Writer, Musician, Painter, Fork-Lift Driver, Advisor, Casanova, Singer, etc...

And yes - maybe I am in my twenties, maybe I'm not? Maybe the Life in your Years is more important than your wrinkles?

I sure as heck have had a great time so far!!! :-)

Nameless.

You may be right about the boring bit. If I had read my comment when I was twenty years old, I almost certainly would have agreed with you.

Time changes one's perspective.

"And Russians love their children too". This Sting's words reflect eternal values of all people. However Lennon's words "All you need is Love" different people understand differently. For example, my friend suppose that the more women you had the better. And he does everything to approach this goal.

Sounds very boring roakes,

I can't believe you didn't end it all during the mid-life crisis.

Had lots of friends
Was generally free from financial worry
Established a relationship of reasonable duration
Built a home
Had children and raised them to maturity
Looked after elderly relatives
Left something behind for the next generation
Took time to think about life
Did no harm
Died without any fear of personal extinction

I'm quite sure it's not how many football games you've watched or how many scores you can remember. I'm also quite sure there isn't an accountant auditing how many "good" and "bad" things you've done, if he does exist he gives you feedback every day, he surely doesn't wait till the end of your life to show you your Balance Sheet. When someone punches you in the face - thats the universal accountant telling you are out of balance.

I'm quite sure about that.

The overall value of a life well lived varies from person to person, whether it be passing on your genes to the next generation, or mindlessly watching television, it all depends on the individual.
