    No matter what is going on, one should always try to find something to laugh about.

    Hmm...

    ive learned (so far) that.. The moon is not made of cheese, Most women dont like the nice guy- but its good to be him anyway, alcohol is amazing and terrible, grass is definitly here for a very good reason, the internet is highly highly addictive, genuinely trying to be a good person is a reward of its own, bigotry is bad, racism is bad, hate is bad, love is good,
    .

    Is it bad to hate racists and bigots?:)

    Most People will abandon you at your time of need. Some out of helplessness- some out of selfishness. Its always good to know you can get through a tough time on your own. Heart breaking but good.

    Couldn't agree more - by all means find someone to share your life with, but in absolute terms you're alone, so you better learn to cope that way. If you rely on others to make you happy, it's your fault, not theirs when you aren't!
    Atheists are constantly angry at everything and everyone

    A real superiority complex too

    Shut up, god boy:mad:

    Loving yourself makes you a nicer person.

    Ive learnt that Life goes on so dont let sh1t annoy you too much,
    some
    people are self absorbed, brainwashed and not very well educated apart from what goes on in celebrity and football land! and anything different outside that land is judged!

    But on a positive note ive learnt that the most important people in the world is your family....sappy i know but could never understand how some people can disrespect their parents :(

    The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. - Bill Hicks

    I learned to stop giving a shìt about anything (not in the "I don't care about anybody" way) Small things that bother you today more than likely won't even matter to you one bit in a few days time and will be lost in your memory for the rest of your life.

    Never trust anyone 100%

    Feeling good about yourself is far better than making yourself look good to others.

    You are not an individual, stop trying to be one and instead have the craìc with ones you share things with.

    The past is unchangeable, don't fret about it and instead use it to shape what you do in the future. Life is all about learning, nobody knows everything 1st time around.

    You're both smart and stupid at the same time.

    It's written nowhere that you have to act your age. Even if it was, fùck it! :pac:

    • Appreciate your parents. Thankfully mine aren't gone but it's only now that I realise just how much I'll miss them once they are.
    • On the subject of parents, they've lived a hell of a lot longer than you and generally know better than you so if they're giving you advice, give it due consideration.
    • When driving, expect every other driver to do anything whatsoever, no matter how mental it might seem to you. People do mad things on the road but if you're prepared for them, you'll be ok.
    • Try hard. I don't care how good or bad someone is at something as long as they're giving it their best shot.
    • You will always feel under-appreciated at work. It's only your personal pride that will keep you working to a high level.

    I once heard, if your worried about something, think, will it be important or effect you in any way in a years time? If not, then its not worth worrying about.

    - you really will die.
    - the death of your loved ones (and the fact that you will die) can never really be fully grasped
    - life is full of paradoxes - eg the word 'nothingness'
    - I am very different to most people I've met (not a good thing)
    - most people have an overly optimistic view of life
    - most people don't prioritise being a good person or they're too lazy to think things through enough to work out what the morally right thing to do is
    - experiencing different cultures is the most amazing and fun thing to do
    - you never know what's going to happen
    - life doesn't care about your plans. have a basic idea of where you're headed but don't make plans.
    - routines are for scared people
    - you have fewer real friends than you think, but at any time there are more people willing to lend you a hand than you would ever imagine
    - you cannot hold onto the people you love or the good times in life no matter how hard you try
    - everyone makes mistakes. learning to forgive yourself is vital
    - evil people are people too. people can committ truly barbaric acts to some people and be loving and gentle with others and in different situations
    - everyone should know how to defend themselves
    - family make the best friends
    - wisdom comes at a price
    - humour makes suffering bearable
    - the way to inner strength is making decisions you can be proud of
    - self esteem and confidence is like spinach to popeye
    - a little paranoia is good, too much makes you crazy
    - control is an illusion
    - stress can cause premature death
    - pretty much everyone is prejudiced (negatively) against some people
    - raising children is enormously rewarding
    - there's always somebody who's better at it than you
    - it can always get worse
    - it's important to stop and think, but don't think so much that you stop living
    - rational thought yields better results than emotional thinking
    - nobody is psychic, people can't talk to the dead,
    - everybody is vulnerable
    - fame is not important
    - the people you love are what's really important

    :confused:

    It's a statement , not a moral judgment on the rights or wrongs of telling a lie .

    Unless you are going to lie to yourself , you really do need a second person in the equasion to tell the lie to but if they dont believe you , your lie has failed .

    Few things I've learned:

    Never challenge a porcupine to an arse - kicking contest.

    Religion is the biggest load of bollocks ever.

    Some women are absolutely insane.

    Some men of all ages can be extremely immature and childish.

    Your family and friends are the best things you have.

    Its always good to talk & seek advice.
