Are you just waiting around to die, or are you living life to the fullest?

[lightbulb27]

Inspired by this amazing creature I saw in a store, in "bondage".

Waiting to die, but now I got just a little more motivation

Waiting to die, don't see the point anymore

I'm living to my fullest [provide comments on how you do this]

Not sure...

[Lliam]

I'm grateful to have been born when I was. It was the best time to be alive in America.
I had SOOOOO much fun. That has always been my primary motivation. The opportunity to enjoy the wonders of life to the fullest is the greatest gift.

But over the past 20+ years, this country has been descending deeper and deeper into dystopia.

I'm still enjoying life. I'm fortunate in that regard. But I'm glad to be the age that I am now because I don't want to be around when the totalitarians finally achieve their goal of making life a drab nightmare for common folk, 100x worse than communist East Germany under the Soviets. "Eat bugs." "You'll own nothing and be happy."

This, like The Matrix, is what people today think is reality. But it's a digital reality. Total control.

Agree, i think you lived in the "sweet spot" of time, between major wars as long as you missed Vietnam, we were the richest, abundance, freedoms, discovery, technology... like the 8 track cassette!:). We're going the other way now. But it's all relative to what one knows... if one believes that "bug patties" are good since they had them as a kid [in their chicken nuggets], they are upset when it's taken away.

[lightbulb27]

It's amazing the insight they had back then to make shows like that, I suspect that generation was far more aware than we are today.

I sometimes feel this way. I am working a lot and have a lot of other responsibilities and not much time to enjoy the time I have left. I know it can all be over with a stroke or a cancer diagnosis and wish I could spend some time doing some of the things I always wanted to do while I am still young enough to enjoy it

[lightbulb27]

sorry to hear that, getting to where ya wanna enjoy. then again, here I am on gag wasting time...:)
drink some of this to cut the heart attack and stroke risk, course, takes more time.

My cholesterol and blood pressure are good. I know people my age that have serious health issues and it can happen so suddenly. My father was 70 when he died. I never thought of him as old. He just went to work one day and died at his desk.

Thanks for the MHO😎

[lightbulb27]

Sorry to hear that. That isn't all together a bad way to go... just konk out without much violence.

[exitseven]

Yes, it was tough for me but I know that he would have hated the nursing home scene with the bad food and sing alongs.

[lightbulb27]

For sure, I'd rather go fast. Those sing alongs be torture unless there's bon fire and some good ale.

[exitseven]

Yes, my mom ended up in a nursing home. It was a pretty nice place but it still is just God's waiting room

[ObscuredBeyond]

I wanna say to the fullest, but how do I qualify or quantify that? And it's hard to feel like I've lived up to much, when half of every woman I've ever met reveals herself to be batshit enough to be a Spider-Man villain?

[lightbulb27]

Good points! It is an amazing process working through life, living and learning. You will learn, once you start... maybe you have already.
It's the damn sub conscious mind... F's us every time...
keep up the good work!

[DawnCoyote]

I feel there is no point in just waiting around! I am 100% a thrill seeker!

YOLO

Adventures are my thing, I am only 14 and i have already had 43 near death experiences! But you dont see that stopping me

Atta girl

[lightbulb27]

thrills are good, maybe keep them on the reasonable side. My motto is "Safety first". If you need a harder hit every time to feel something, I'd double check what's going on, ya know? Like jumping out of a plane without a parachute... it can work out, but usually doesn't.

[Agape93]

Living it and waiting to die

[lightbulb27]

you are so young. I remember 30, thought life was over. hadn't started yet.
80yr olds tell me I'm young, it's all relative...

[Agape93]

I'm about halfway done. I dont want to live until I'm old, i want to go out on my own terms when I cannot live as I want.
