    I think John Lennon summed it up quite nicely

    "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
     
  10. Interesting thread para :)

    Here's a short and snappy quote that I reckon just about sums it up ;) (from Neil Gaiman's book - American Gods)

    I can believe things that are true and I can believe things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not. I can believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and Marilyn Monroe and the Beatles and Elvis and Mister Ed.

    Listen — I believe that people are perfectible, that knowledge is infinite, that the world is run by secret banking cartels and is visited by aliens on a regular basis, nice ones that look like wrinkledy lemurs and bad ones who mutilate cattle and want our water and our women.

    I believe that the future sucks and I believe that the future rocks and I believe that one day White Buffalo Woman is going to come back and kick everyone's ass. I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating and that the decline in good sex in America is coincident with the decline in drive-in movie theaters from state to state.

    I believe that all politicians are unprincipled crooks and I still believe that they are better than the alternative. I believe that California is going to sink into the sea when the big one comes, while Florida is going to dissolve into madness and alligators and toxic waste. I believe that antibacterial soap is destroying our resistance to dirt and disease so that one day we'll all be wiped out by the common cold like the Martians in War of the Worlds.

    I believe that the greatest poets of the last century were Edith Sitwell and Don Marquis, that jade is dried dragon sperm, and that thousands of years ago in a former life I was a one-armed Siberian shaman. I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars. I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself.

    I believe in a personal god who cares about me and worries and oversees everything I do. I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive. I believe in an empty and godless universe of causal chaos, background noise, and sheer blind luck. I believe that anyone who says that sex is overrated just hasn't done it properly.

    I believe that anyone who claims to know what's going on will lie about the little things too. I believe in absolute honesty and sensible social lies. I believe in a woman's right to choose, a baby's right to live, that while all human life is sacred there's nothing wrong with the death penalty if you can trust the legal system implicitly, and that no one but a moron would ever trust the legal system. I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.
     
  11. Life is a journey, sadly the destination is set but how you get there is the fun bit. Life is what you make of it, what may seem boring to someone else might make you very happy. I think it's best not to worry about anything too much and what people think of you as you will only depress yourself. Also, if you want to do something or buy something then do it. It's only money and you earn more every month, plus you can't take it with you when you do finally clock out! I also believe in karma, if you do a good deed it will be repaid.

    Life is a journey, I've learnt not to presume anything as 'anything' can change. However we make choices so it's important to see and not to think you see.
    If you feel you should do something then do it because the opportunity may not come again, do everything for the right reason at the time and never, and this is the important bit, never intentionally set out to hurt or harm. Follow these 2 things and things should be easier.
    Respect people and have an open view on what's around, it may make no sense at the time but the day will come when it all slots into place

    I used to worry far too much about what happened in life, now i go with the flow, sometimes i'm reckless but since my mom died my attitude is "you're a long time dead", these words are a good philosophy..... "live each day as if it's your last and one day you'll be right". Never regret things you've done, only things you didn't do.
