Thought for the day

Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien

Every felt like your life has been one big mistake ? Wrong job, wrong partner wrong everything ?
Thought provoking response here to a woman who at 70 felt deeply unhappy about the whole kit and kabadoole.

I’m 70 and so full of regret about my husband and career​

....There are no perfect choices. Studies have shown that people can be roughly divided into two camps: people who settle for something in the ballpark and say, “That’ll do,” and perfectionists. Guess who turns out happiest? It’s not the perfectionists. The right choice is the choice we commit to. It’s the commitment that makes it right, not the object itself.

 
If a couple have 7 children does the law allow them to all have exactly the same first names?

It doesn't really matter as the world will keep going round the sun and it makes no difference whatsoever. I would like to come back in 100,000 years time and involve myself in interplanetary development. That will probably go all wrong but again the world will keep going round the sun

What am I thinking. At the moment I have a cold and bad cough and I'm feeling sorry for myself but happy the world is still assuredly going round the sun.

What has all this got to do do with anything. That's it really just keep plodding on.

The problem is that Politicians like Directors are making bigger efforts at pretending to care. The further problem is some of us end up believing them and a few are good at pretending they believe them pretending.​
 
One main reason amongst others for problems concerning global warming is the increase in the world's population in the last 40 years.: Now past 8 billion.
The highest population growths are in: https://www.statista.com/statistics/264687/countries-with-the-highest-population-growth-rate/
Few countries have done anything at all about this except China.
The lowest population growths and declines are: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/countries-with-declining-population
Highest Populations: https://www.statista.com/statistics/262879/countries-with-the-largest-population/

So a reality check is needed here as a sharp decline in population would solve a lot of problems and then stop the need for churning out so much produce of all kinds. Nothing will be done as it appears a subject to be seen but ignored.
 
Never reassure another person when you know they know you haven't a clue on what you are talking about.
 
If an action is deliberate it is not a mistake. There is no such thing as a deliberate mistake.

Maybe a deliberate action made to look like a mistake, but if this action turned out not to be a mistake then it would be a mistake.
 
Humans are deuterostomes, which means when we develop from an embryo our anus forms before any other opening.

This explains a lot, and confirms the suspicion that underformed people really are just assholes.

I've read this several times and have given up trying to understand it - that was my deliberate mistake.
 
If one continues to fire from the same position they will eventually have you in their sights.​
