"Some people die at 25 and aren't buried until 75." - Benjamin Franklin

WOW, thats heavy.

so?

Sad. We only have the one life to live on earth, too! To you, who said "so?"....go out and get an education. Be learned.

TRY TO BE A HAPPY MAN .

I think there is a lot of people who actively need to get a life !
---
Does that mean us too who actually sit here and wait for a bottle to come ashore and respond to it?? LOL
---
I want a little more context for this quote. Does he mean that they are "dead" long before their actual death, or does he mean that their impact is still felt long after they are dead?
---
He means they haven't really LIVED. They are just getting by, not making the most of life. It's not about their impact, although that would be an interesting interpretation.
I just thought of something. I wonder how many people in history died before age 26 and made a historical impact? There's King Tut, of course, but he's just remembered because of the way he happened to be buried. Can you think of any more?

The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
-- Henry Miller
Will you describe one thing? Just a short paragraph...one thing in this world that you know well and help us know that thing/moment/person and appreciate the beauty of it in the world.

I love it when I see a single ray of golden sunshine coming through the window making a halo on the floor. It makes me think it is God remembering me and his way of warming my soul with his love.

The first breath of air when the sun rises.

When I am out in the wilderness, especially around dusk... a chill wind blows on my face, almost stings my eyes... its beautiful... everything feels so wild and like it could be hundreds of years ago... very quiet out except for that wind, when it whistles and howls among the trees in the surrounding distance.

I love the feeling of my kitty snuggling into my hair. He likes to kind of prop himself onto my shoulder and snuggle in. His whole body rumbles with purrs and he keeps nuzzling deeper into my hair, while digging his "toe claws" into me and kneading his hands. Then he starts drooling---that's gross and I have to make him stop!

The experience of driving at night in snow is very magical to me. All the flakes seem to emanate from one central point and they're all heading straight to my windshield in a mad rush. But I'm warm and cozy in my car.

god love you

it's not about having what you want, it's wanting what you have..

I am blessed, more than I deserve.

Bill Gates loves his Microsoft!
And I so agree with 'not about having what you want....' Great message!
---
I hate the commercials that say "You deserve" this or that. People we don't "deserve" anything. Everything we have or can do is a gift from God. He certainly doesn't owe me anything.
---
And the haircolor ad that says, "Because you're worth it."
Contentment is one of the most important things to develop in yourself, as it counteracts greed.

And you're a man, right?
Every man feel miserable with any single health problem. It seems like they are dying if they have a simple pain
---
I'm afraid I not a man. But in my eyes, at least , the Chinese man always keeps the miseries at the bottom of their heart.
I hope you will be recovered soon . We have a sunny day in Shanghai and I have the vacation for 7 days. But I feel a little bit lonely. It' so erring!
Anyway, I 'm a strong-minded girl . I have a lot of things to do .
