    I pity people who can’t think critically and need to be spoon fed soundbites to ‘know’ things.

    Fairly crap life

    The irony of people who haven't a qualification to their name, sponge off the dole for years on end, probably didn't even complete their Leaving Certificate and criticise others for being unable to think critically.......

    I was out walking on a prom on the coast today with Herself and saw a family going out sailing on a lovely new looking yacht, and felt a pang of envy. That looked bloody nice so it did. What a way to spend a sunny afternoon. I stopped and watched them for a bit and then continued on my walk. When I looked back to the path in front there were a couple of women pushing some severely disabled people along in wheelchairs, and then I thought to myself f**k the yacht, being able to walk along the coast on a sunny afternoon with the other half is gift enough for me. Bitta perspective gained!

    I pity people who think everything is a conspiracy and believe they're the ones who can think critically.

    Tbf, I mentioned nothing of a conspiracy. You’re assuming because I’m questioning NPHET and the subsequent acceptance of the advice by the government, I’m a tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. You’re proving my point.

    10,561 ‘new cases’ in France today. Higher than when it all began. Yet no corresponding increase in hospital admissions, ICU admissions and subsequent deaths in line with the figures in March-May. Similar trajectory and media rhetoric in Ireland.

    But just keep wearing your masks and take this weekend seriously or else NPHET and the Government ‘will not hesitate’ to reimpose lock down again. Smh.

    Have you copped how it’s strange that 81 of Ireland’s best and brightest judges, ‘industry leaders’, politicians (both current and ex) saw fit to meet up and ‘threaten their family and friends’ with later known-contact transmission of this supposedly deadly virus?

    Serious thread drift, I agree. But acknowledging the posts that followed up my initial one.

    Health an obvious one. Love another. Whether that be familial or romantic or social. Like Sky King says and he's dead right IMHO perspective is a biggie. I've long noted that those folks I've known who suffered from clinical depression about the first thing to go is perspective. I reckon if you could invent a perspective pill it would alleviate a sh1t ton of the effects of depression and anxiety. Another one I'd add is energy, physical and mental(again lacking in depression). A purpose, a goal in life that goes fulfilled another.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Yours or someone else’s :eek: sorry I’ll get my coat...

    Health, a realization that won’t ever leave me.

    The wisdom to know how to make the most of each moment.

    I can only imagine of course; hope to be that wise some day!

    Doing small things to help others have an easier life.

    Not really. Nothing deflates the mood faster than a woman you've just spent the last 40 minutes giving mind blowing orgasms to (you hope) looking deep into your eyes and saying "Are you done yet I'm getting sore".

    Being able to get a good nights sleep with no worries or anxiety on your mind.

    Humility would be my guess.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,312 ✭✭✭nthclare


    Having an open mind and self awareness, empathy and compassion.

    Oh and steer clear of narcissts ;)

    Good health. Without that nothing else matters for you or your family and friends. Money is not relevant if you are sick or dying, something will come up and get you through.

    Those of us with reasonably good health despite a few twinges should embrace that fact and get out and about best we can despite Covid, but within the guidance.

    There are plenty of people who would love to be able to do it, but can't and yet have loads of money.

    Reliable friends.
