    Should we all try and get as much money as possible?
    Kill anyone that's different?
    Sit in a circle and sing hippy songs?
    Admit that the best times are behind us and give up?

    I feel it's time to get everyone involved in the debate, from the most respected intellectual, down to the lowest troll. Might even have room for some mods opinions. :pac:

    Or maybe I just had too much sugar.

    Contentment is wealth, that is all you should ever really need is contentment.

    Don't allow yourself to get walked on.
    Then have as much fun as possible without hurting others.
    When you're gone, you're gone.

    Life is all about leaving the world in a better way than you found it, however you do it, according to your talents.

    I don't think we should think of 'life' as something that exists to serve us individually, consequences be damned.

    What would make you happy though? A fast car? Money?

    No, don't you see the exclamation mark? :confused: I don't like hippies, I'm anti-hippy, isn't that obvious? :(

    It's not "about" anything, make what you want of it.

    I thought it meant you firmly held the beliefs of a hippy. A hippy extremist if you will.

    I know but I want to know what other people think. A change from religious/political threads. Also I'm nosey.

    Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

    So what do you hold dear? Family, sport, watching soaps?
    What have you decided to make life about if you don't believe it's about anything?

    My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.

    Life is what you make it, so if you are sitting there pondering just like I am now, then think of what you want to do with it.

    Everyone has a brain, so think about what life could be if you really put your mind to it. ;)
