Okay, here's something for everyone. You're on your death bed. Everyone you care about is assembled around you. What words of wisdom that you've learned from your life experience do you impart to them with your last breath?
No, they wouldn't understand anyway.
Best answer so far!
The pretty umbrella on the drink at the seashore bar is not edible.
@blufftonbeotch wow that's rough lol.
Whoever invented Homo sapiens really fucked up.
Whoever invented old age fucked up even worse.
...isn’t it called ‘grin and bare it?’
It is too late at that point to point out wisdom...just smile at each face before us, and accept each person in their totality.
Don't accept anything on blind faith. Follow the facts and the evidence.
The same words my old man gave to me before he passed:
Never volunteer.
Never draw to an inside straight.
And never, ever trust any kind of black dog with orange eyebrows.
My boot camp instructor asked for 20 volunteers. They of course balked, but when he’d counted 20 he sent them back to the barracks.
I don’t draw to inside straights but was one of the few who took your old man’s advice on volunteering. The instructor sent us to the mess hall.to peel potatoes.
Worry only about what you control.
Also, Memento Mori. The arrow of death misses no one.
I would want to say something like "time is your most valuable commodity" but I would probably choose to comfort them with something like "it's only natural that everything ends". Thanks for playing everyone.
I think I’ll worry about that then. Until that anything can happen.
