If you have the latest electronic gadgets, like an ipod and 60 inch flat screen tv, a car with a navigation system, and a 6 bedroom house with a 3 car garage, then you know you lived a successful life. It's ok to go into huge debt, especially if you are old, because if you die, you won't have to worry about paying off that debt. Materialistic objects are all that matter in this world.
He who is richest is not he who has most, But he who desires for more least. Have you put more in than you took out?
My previous statement was just a joke. Having lots of material objects does not mean that you lived a good life.
after death no one will remember you. the viewing, then you'll be forgotten. friends, relatives, they'll be consumed with THEIR lives which they are painfully aware (thanks to you) ending all too soon too you''ll be gone, and forgotten. out of site out of mind. doesn't matter one iota what you've done or how great you've lived or think you've lived when your gone, noone will care less... and why should they? the rare the few the famous they become a footnote in history textbook. (do they care now they're dead!) is this what you devote your (SINGULAR) life to, the occasional footnote in some obscure high-school textbook?? BWAHAHAHAHA!! HEDONISM is the ONLY way to FLY!! get your rocks off and get them off often there ain't no tomorrow! have some fun now cause when you are dead you are DEAD. period. ps don't hurt anyone
the most depressing thing i've ever seen is that clock that countsdown -backwards- your lifespan.. second by second comes off the clock .. the relentless tick tock tick tock , ,, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. the cruel futility of it all stares painfully back at you {sigh} one redeeming thing about that clock is you begin to measure EVERYTHING you do by it
