    You can't put an old head on young shoulders and wisdom comes with age. My sixteen year old is raising my awareness of this fact almost daily. Headwrecker.

    Life is too short for regrets.

    It takes too much energy to hate someone - forget and move on.

    I think it would take far more energy to forgive and forget than to hate, if hate is how you naturally feel towards someone (particularly if they have done something atrocious to you, like abuse). You're right it is not advisable to let it consume you and to try and move on from it, but can't be easy.

    I agree life is too short for regrets.

    Back To The Future trilogy tie-breaks with The Godfather trilogy (shyte part III but the first two make up for it) IMO.

    No matter where you go you take yourself with you

    If you're an unhappy soul who is constantly negative well moving to Canada or Australia or a new job or relationship or whatever isn't going to magically change you

    I don't mean forgive - block them out of your life and forget them. If you hate someone they still have a hold over you.


    I'm not bitter, honestly.

    Yea that one I'd buy alright. People like attractive people.
    That its hard, nigh impossible, to win an argument with a woman.
    It's really not. It depends on the intelligence of the person involved. If they're less clever than you it's easy, if they're not, you're boned. Gender not applicable. Unless you're predicating the argument on the basis of "oh if I say the wrong thing she won't shag me later/again/ever[delete as applicable]". Remove your penis from the fray and your argument will rise or fall on it's merits.
    That 4 year olds will always be the funniest people on earth.
    Woody Allen at his stand up best would beg to differ.
    That Back To The Future is the greatest trilogy of all time.
    The Godfather. /debate.

    I disagree. One must be happy oneself first, the the rest follows

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Best served cold though. It you react while emotions are still running high you just come across as borderline psychotic. Let the dust settle and allow the other person to think you have forgotten. You can execute your revenge then with a clinical coldness.

    I may need to retract my statement about hating someone! :D
