So I’m a middleish aged man.

My philosophy is:

Don’t be a dickhaed.
Respect people.
Be compassionate.
Be open-minded.
Be kind.
Be understanding.
Don’t be a dickhaed.

What’s yours?

Life is pain, anyone telling you differently is selling something.

My body is my temple, I shall be found wanting.

There's a pothole down the road.

Life isn't fair. accept that.

Don't sweat the small stuff....

It's all small stuff.

Live and let live.

So long as you’re all consenting adults and you’re not hurting anybody else, do whatever the fùck you want.
I don’t care.

Things have a way of working out for the best.

Nice thread.

I've got three children. I try to show that life is full of fun. Mummy and daddy argue, but is always resolved. Sticking together is a given in our house.

Rules are boring. Playtime is anytime. Before 7:30pm, then it's bedtime.

Hugs, hugs, hugs. I try and answer all questions. The world is full of excitement and wonder. I never, ever want them to leave, but know that they must leave to live their own lives.

Honesty is always forgiven, lies are not good.

I tell my children I love them every night and how happy they make me.

I work as little as possible. I spend as much time with my little ones as possible. I make my wife cum twice a week, within 30 seconds. We have a great relationship. She curbs my bull**** tendencies, without sarcasm or nastiness.

a line from an old 90’s folk song has always stayed with me

It’s nice to be important but it’s more important to be nice

We all make your wife cum twice a week.



Ps. Another philosophy of mine is to have a sense of humour in abundance :pac:

After ten years of marriage, I know.

Fitting it in, among three children going to sleep, is the hard part. Spontaneous romance is well gone.

It'a once a week now. I say "let's start with some petting"

Truth. As a mathematician I concur.

Make a virtue of a necessity. You can't go wrong.

Remember as great as you think you are everything that has happened to you is luck and was always going to happen, not because you are great.

Free will is an illusion.

If you’re nice or a dick or a serial murderer.

It’s not your fault it’s the way your brain was made and you have zero control of that.

No.

Lots and lots of luck required in the lottery of existence. Agreed.

But then there’s the other important bit where you actually DO have some input into your own fate.

Free will is real.

• don't fu<k your friends over
• the fact you can buy something like a new Apple monitor stand doesn't mean you should
• Adobe graphic software is industry gospel standard these days. I'd buy a MacBook for the sole purpose of using final cut pro
• don't buy or rent friends in any context.

Try google it, I’m not here to argue.

The decisions you make are from a brain you didn’t create and it works differently than everyone else.


Why do some people like onions and others don’t?

Or like sports and others don’t?

Matters beyond your control.


“Free will might be an illusion created by our brains, scientists might have proved.

Humans are convinced that they make conscious choices as they live their lives. But instead it may be that the brain just convinces itself that it made a free choice from the available options after the decision is made”

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude

Everything is pointless and we humans are a greedy cancer on the planet and don't deserve this beautiful earth. So once you realise this you can accept we are doomed, not have any kids because that's pointless too and adds to the earth's demise, enjoy life and sit back, smoke your pipe, and enjoy fiddling while Rome burns

What’s this “we” business? :pac:

Simple philosophy really - never be afraid to ask for help, and don’t blame other people when things go tits up because you didn’t ask for help in the first place. People aren’t mind readers.

I'm sure when they say 'we' it doesn't include everyone, but it's becoming more and more apparent that people are selfish, just in different ways.

You know on a sinking ship and that whole women and children first thing? Yeah, right. Mup outta my way or I'll throw you overboard myself.

Weirdly ties in with something I'd said on another thread earlier.
I don't know if it's a philosophy?
Or just a musing, bit either way it's mine!

When I was younger, when I thought that life was what I made it!
Rather than it made me.
When I believed that I could do anything.
I was a little bit Bene Gesserit
A little bit Zen!

Life would flow over me and around me, like the pebble in the stream.
The world flowed around me, but I remained whole, unmoved and unchanged.

Then I got a little bit older, the world thought me how wrong my youth was.
I spent a lot of time angry at the world,at God at whatever cosmic system fúcked me over!
My stream dried up, the heat, intensity and pressure of life cracked the pebble I was!
It broke me a little and left me feeling quite stoic!
I could not shape the world, only my reactions to it.

Then as I reached my late 30's some semblance of normalcy returned to my life.
Love, happiness and everything that came with it flowed back to me.

Then it dawned on me that I had tried the whole being strong, stoic and brave...
It broke me, the world conspired to show me I was but a mote.
Then I read about Kintsugi, and I realized those Japs and their view on life can be quite penetrating.
Life built me up, then it knocked me down and how I dealt with those blows made me who I am.
I like me, many don't!
But I don't care, they hold no sway over my thoughts, nor I over theirs.
My thoughts have been much happier since realising that.
I have been broken, I am broken still.
I've been put back together, the cracks filled with gold.
They are still there and I never want to lose them.
I like to think that we are better for weathering the storm and a cracks, well they are golden!
And shur who doesnt like gold

Everybody is a bit weird, but some people are better at conforming and acting in a manner perceived to be normal.

Don't sweat the small stuff and plough your way through the bad times.

Try not to worry about things that you can't change the outcome of . Worrying just makes yourself ill , the end result will still be whatever it is .
And if you make a mistake , accept it and move on , don't beat yourself up over it .

Very true Mam.
What problems has worry ever solved!
It's much easier said than done, but rather than worry about something do everything in your power to change what's causing the worry.

If theres nothing you can do to affect the outcome...
Then don't worry about it, and put your effort into mitigating the fall out.

Worry is akin to an emotional cancer, it grows and gnaws away at your well being and it's very very hard to beat it

I bloody love your common sense Mam

Don't put your happiness in things which can be taken from you.

You only get one chance at life, don’t fùck it up!

Work to live, I don’t live to work.

If at first you don’t succeed then give up and try something else, life’s to short for failing.

Be nice to the people that matter in your life.

Whan a dispute happens then don’t let it drag on unnecessarily.

Get over yourself .
