where you arrive is how you got there – the mad hatter
LOL
Very deep I like it 😀
Thanks 😀
Your welcome 🙂
We always have decision making power in any circumstance.
Very true, although easier for some than others to make concious choices 😀
Ah, Joan Baez. Best concert I ever went to was at Yale probably 1964, Joan Baez, Pete Seager, and Judy Collins. What a night!
Sounds awesome, lovely to have cherished memories 😀
And you can only live in the now, not the past or the future!
True say that … or that is how it generally seems !
That Joanie had a lot of wisdom and a nice vice too!

Agreed Leslie 😀
Actually people who commit suicide do..
Please see my reply to Rajiv’s comment.
Sorry if I offended you Don..
It’s no worries for me, so please don’t worry … I think the main thing is to make the most of what life has to offer, and not focus too much on the very tiny minority of people who choose willingly to end their own lives. That said there’s a time and place to discuss suicide, it’s something that should be talked about … perhaps I’ll do an opinion post about it soon …
I’m sure to read it!
Thanks 😀
As I sit here watching “still mine” this quote could not ring more true
I’m happy for that 😀
True… But some decide how they die. They commit suicide
I have a friend who passed due to suicide, Jerome, I posted about it already, so please be careful what you say about that. If you’re personally having those kind of thoughts, I’m not a psychologist or professional in that field, but would strongly advise you to seek assistance.
The tiny minority that do pass due to suicide is a tremendous waste of human potential and life, as is any life cut short for any reason.
My intention in these quotes is not to cater for every single possible minority case, every single individual’s personal likes and dislikes, that’s impossible … simply I post them with a positive intent that people might be inspired or motivated by the wisdom and charismatic words of well known people throughout the ages.
Oh no. No fear on that account. I have had five friends who committed suicide in college, one drowned by accident and another was murdered in school. So, my comment was based on my memory of those sad events
So the rest of the quote wasn’t relevant to you ?
No.. Not to me
That’s what I thought 😀
I was just stating a logical fact Don. I know how tragic suicide is to the family and friends involved. I wasn’t going to debate on it. My cousin’s husband killed himself last year, I thought it was horrible they have 2 kids in high school who will never be the same.
I think overall the point of the quote is that life is for living, is all … and choosing to live life happily and not dwell too much on death I think is also implied 😀
