George Carlin reflecting on life after his wife's passing

[pudgy]

TweetThe paradox of our time in history is that we have
> taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider
> freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
> but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have
> bigger houses and smaller families, more
> conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
> but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment,
> more experts, yet
> more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
> We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too
> recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get
> too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
> too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
> We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our
> values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate
> too often.
> We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
> We've added years to life not life to years. We've
> been all the way to the moon and back, but have
> trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
> We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've
> done larger things, but not better things.
> We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
> We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We
> write more, but learn less. We plan more, but
> accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to
> wait. We build more computers to hold more
> information, to produce more copies than ever, but
> we communicate less and less.
> These are the times of fast foods and slow
> digestion, big men and small character, steep
> profits and shallow relationships. These are the
> days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier
> houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick
> trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one
> night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do
> everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a
> time when there is much in the showroom window and
> nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can
> bring this letter to you, and a time when you can
> choose either to share this insight, or to just hit
> delete.
> Remember, spend some time with your loved ones,
> because they are not going to be around forever.
> Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to
> you in awe, because that little person soon will
> grow up and leave your side. Remember, to give a
> warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the
> only treasure you can give with your heart and it
> doesn't cost a cent.
> Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and
> your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and
> an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep
> inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish
> the moment for someday that person will not be there
> again. Give time to love, give time to speak, and
> give time to share the precious thoughts in your
> mind.
> Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
> take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
> HOW TO STAY YOUNG
> 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes
> age, weight and height.
> Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you
> pay him/her.
> 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull
> you down.
> 3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer,
> crafts, gardening, whatever.
> Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the
> devil's workshop."
> And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
> 4. Enjoy the simple things.
> 5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you
> gasp for breath.
> 6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move
> on. The only person who is with us our entire life,
> is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
> 7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether
> it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants,
> hobbies, whatever.Your home is your refuge.
> 8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve
> it. If it is unstable, improve it.
> If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
> 9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the
> mall, to the next county, to a foreign
> country, but NOT to where the guilt is.
> 10. Tell the people you love that you love them,
> at every opportunity.
> AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
> Life is not measured by the number of breaths we
> take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
> If you don't send this to at least 8 people....
> who cares?

TweetHappiness is always being conciously aware of what your value system is and living up to those standards, no matter how you feel, because it is the right thing to do.

Pudge Boy,

You've done you're good deed for the day, now go take a shot of AS, and take your breath away, lol.
