Most important life lesson?

Laughing with Me

If someone has the power to make you feel good, they also have the power to make you feel bad. And don't think they aren't aware of when they make you feel good!

Firstly, never stick a banger up your arse at halloween.

Marriage is not for everyone. Don't do it just because your mother told you that you have to.

Get as much sex as you can when you are young. Despite what people will tell you, people are sexual beings and are made to shag each others brains out. You'll be the happier for it.

Work is overrated. Necessary but overrated. Don't think too much about building a career. Build a life.

I'm not usually a big people person but meaningful relationships can be really rewarding. Hold on to whatever real friends you have. You'll only ever have one or two but that is all you need.

Saving is a great habit to get in to.

Neither a borrower no a lender be.

Hard work doesn't get you anywhere, except landed with more work.

Only if you look after no1 can you guarantee no1 gets looked after.

That's what scares me most of all.

I think he phrased it better than I did when he said it actually. As when I read what I wrote it suggests that people are not thinking about each other _at all_ which is scary as you say.

What I think he was saying at the time was we would be less concerned about the value judgements people think about us if we realised how seldom they actually do.

This is why I totally suck at little soundbytes for threads like this. Most of the actually useful life lessons I have learned take a medium sized essay to explain. I can ne'er do it as a one liner.

The only really life changing life lesson I ever had that improved _my_ own life was shifting the variables by which I judged myself from toxic ones to healthy ones. But the only one liners I have heard about that sound smug and self righteous even when they are well meaning. The podcaster Blindboy for example would call it "Shifting from an external to internal locus of self-evaluation".

I know what he means. But it sounds like a smug self-**** too
