August1991 Posted November 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Woody Allen described life as distraction. Cruises, card games. I think Richard Nixon said the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is life? To your first. One stop for amenities and entertainment, economic reasons, and a good way to get together with family at mom and dad's expense or vice versa. To your last. We are, as Socrates would say, Bread and circuses. Those characteristic in us are expressed as memories as we go through life. We feed our reason for living, being to create memories, with cruises and other forms of travel. Life is an accumulation of remembered events and a desire for more.

August1991 Posted November 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Drama is a game of the young. Conflict. With age, life is a distraction. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
