    Live by?

    You mean like chivalry or honour?

    Tbh, I just try to act in a way I won't regret, and even that is hard at times.

    Cheer up love, it might never happen! :L

    Best thing to do is get some comedy into you. I did the opposite tonight and went the alcohol direction. Although I wont complain too much about this choice.

    Funny, I would be very much a Shades of Grey person - if you think a complicated issue has a definate answer; you've missed something.

    I live by one thing: Always stand up for yourself and your friends as best you can. It's the only way to respect yourself.

    live by the fact that the road from your past can set the direction for your future..i.e. keep your self on the right track and the future will remain bright...
    sorry to hear about your friend OP.. its the hard experiences in life that can make you pay attention to what is best for you and the others you care about..
    im certain that the experience of loss you feel will benefit your focus on important things in the future!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,810 ✭✭✭Mackman


    Sorry to hear about that Midnight_EG. I went through the same thing a few years ago.

    My main motto i live by is "Treat others as you would like them to treat you". If other people dont reciprocate, then they're not worth it.

    And,

    You only have 1 chance here, better make the most of it :)

    Midnight, if you are feeling the despair, it will pass. Life is hard and the motivation can be really hard at times, despite how easy it may seem for others.

    Nonetheless, I think there is something in finding what has value to you, and finding what it is you can give to others that has real value.

    From all the accounts I have come across from those who have passed over having suicided, they bitterly regret the unending pain and sorrow and loss the cause to others. (Okay I don't believe in religion, but I do believe people continue in an 'afterlife' for want of a better description.)

    Maybe they who suicide could see no alternative, I do not judge anybody who chooses this terrible path, with the unending suffering it causes others, but, nonetheless, this life is the only one we get, and it's hard, painful and full of loss, but also full of stuff we can only experience as physical beings in this world.

    Life's a bitch mate and I'm sure you, above all people, know that. I like to take the bull by the horns and get on with it :)

    Good luck Midnight, try not to get too down about things, though it can't be easy.

    I try to live by always trying to at least look at things from the other persons shoes before I judge them. Sometimes it's not easy, and sometimes they're still an idiot or horrible, but at least I tried right?

    That and never taking things *too* seriously.
