The circle of life
Is a wondrous thing
Up close it's flawed
From afar, a perfect ring
The details are different
The outcomes the same
Enjoy the ride
Be glad you came
You remain unique
Though nothing is new
It's been done before
All you go through
Shades of joy
Levels of pain
After you're gone
It will happen again
Your feedback helps Burrfoot understand what's working
Getting there, one step at a time
Endings: There are so many endings, endings that make you smile and endings that makes you cry. Some endings are mysterious others are so obvious. Some endings are a disappointment.
Thereβs nothing certain but death. Nor beyond nor before. We are born and live to die. Death the only gift of life. We fret; make noise, shout and cry. We skid from hills to valley and back.
We all want the best in life. Riches, wealth, good health, and companionship. We all need to feel appreciated in life. Acknowledged, praised, wanted, even a pat on the back. We all have our own...
No life is ever equal to that if another, not because one is better than another but because if the quality if that life. This is because of potential and experience.
When we are born We are fragile Innocent Lost Soft Broken And gasping for comprehension.
Insanity is humanity, We are completely mad. We fight through the night, Until we don't feel bad. We make and we break, Some incredible inventions. And map lovely apps, that deserve way more mentions.
When I die I want to leave behind nothing only then will I feel I have lived the way I wanted to.
So to this world I'll say goodnight, Up these stairs, I'll tumble from a height. Until at the bottom I'll land or fall. Restart the journey or hear the 'call'.
@MrsS @eddie12309 yeah kinda comforting when you realise that others go through the same things albeit for different reasons perhaps.. But also a little sad.. Its also a bit of a grumpy rant at the young'uns.. Even at my most angst ridden I always realised my elders were probably right through experience and although I was a naughty boy I knew i was, knew how fortunate I was despite the bad stuff and didn't think the world was ending because I had some teenage crisis π‘π
@Burrfoot Mmmm hmmmm! You've been thinking this too then! I'm def with you there!! I have family like this too - infuriatingly dramatic about the most ridiculous things, no drive in their life to become anything, then moan when they end up pregnant / out of work / in some other difficult situation (and happy to collect the govmnt money for it if there's any going!!) humph! My niece is a case in point, but i won't even go there! Sorry, rant over!!
Indeed. We were brought up to just bloody get on with it. Whether that's a good or bad view, the jury's still out. π
@MrsS @eddie12309 indeedy.. We always say ya gotta laugh or you'll cry.. Thankfully I haven't really known anyone like it since uni days.. But there's enough on here to get my grumpy old man hat on ππ»
@Burrfoot Too much somedays! And some (dare I say most?!) of its all just attention-seeking rubbish! Grrrrrr! Guess that's another things the Internet's done for us... (Oh my, I'M a Grumpy Old Moo!!!) π³πππ
@MrsS I quite like being grumpy π but yes 'when I were I nipper' if I got grounded I went in my room and maybe punched my pillow.. (And that's not a euphemism for crumply socks) now its a tragedy against human rights.. While the hard done by kid types away on their expensive I gadget
It was part two of a addicted to shoplifting or sonething like that. Enjoy. I'm off as I'm addicted to sleep. π€π€π€
@minxyMolly I watch it to feel good about myself π I speak to parents that tell me, 'I can't keep him in, it's not my fault he goes out drinking and smashing card up'... Maybe so, but that's because there wasn't any discipline since year dot π‘π‘π‘π
@Burrfoot @minxyMolly πππ Stopped those kind of tv profs some time ago - they were raising my blood pressure! I looked like a contestant from the Jeremy (W...) Kyle show on my sofa, all shouting and raised eyebrows!!! Not good for one's health πππ
@Burrfoot haha we watched a old clip in my sociology class (the kinda old when it was legal to smack your kids on the bum and it wasn't called child abuse) and the child on there was terrible tantrums all the time called her mom a fat bitchπ³π³ we were all like wow just wow now if that was my kid....
@minxyMolly nah, I don't believe in smacking although I have 'smacked' their hand now and again.. But there's a lot more creative ways to discipline mwahaha
@MrsS I tagged u in it.. Addiction to burglary.. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt that it's a story. And it will one day lead to a career as a spy π
@minxyMolly @Burrfoot I must say though, you have to wonder whether it's the families or the child at some point - I myself have a child with what I would call fairly bad behavioural problems. I do not believe in smacking per say, but have done it out of sheer 'nothing else works' when I have had days of anger and mild abuse. We've always been caring, loving and tactile with our sons, but also very strict when it comes to bad manners, etc. I am now at my wits end and so we are seeking help, which is not desperately forthcoming as yet... (for his sake and ours). When I see the families on these tv shows, I despair of how they manage to get help. Then I realise: 1. They are bl**dy useless and therefore have easily rectifiable issues and 2. They are happy to air their laundry to the world on tv (also because they are 'that way inclined'). I often question myself on this issue with my son, and I can honestly say, hand on heart, that he appears to me to have some kind of problem outside of our (and often indeed, his) control... π There, I said it π³
@Burrfoot hahaha awww, a trick I learnt at my old work experience with reception is to count upwards π because you can never run out of numbers, now all the barbies are packed away π
@MrsS I'm sure you guys will work through it and he's lucky that he will have the chance to grow out of it being steered in the right direction π
@minxyMolly @MrsS right I'm gonna have a wee sneeky roll up while everyone is snoring and retire π goodnight peeps
@minxyMolly @Burrfoot Found it! 'some middle aged ladies were already eyeing it up...' πππ Next Opuss challenge: define 'middle age ππ πππππ @Burrfoot thanks, I do hope so... Night x
