No, I got fucked at the casino over the weekend and need revenge before I die otherwise I'll be stuck haunting the damn place.
haha what game were you playing
Poker and BJ. Poker blew me out quick a guy got pocket kings 2x in <4 hands and wasted like 2 hours grinding back. BJ just went horribly, multiple 4-5 hit 21s when dealer showing bust cards after doubling/splitting into it.
'知足常乐'
One of the simplest (every Chinese-speaking kid in school knows this term) yet wisest sayings imo by Lao Tzu, ancient Chinese philosopher, author of the famous Tao Te Ching.
'Knowing that what you have is enough, will make you happy always'
By this logic, anyone can be satisfied with their lives. You just need to be content with what you have.
In the words of the even more famous Spanish genius señor Benjamin Chang:
Probably not. I'm still young (in my 20s). Before I die, I'd like to marry my girlfriend, raise my dog, have kids, watch them grow up, progress in my career, and retire spending my golden years with my now girlfriend (and hopefully) future wife. I don't think that anything happens to me as a person after I die, so I won't be able to accomplish those things. If I were taken out of the game now instead of 50 years from now, that would be tragic IMO.
Fuck no. I lived my entire life to maximize utility assuming an 80 year span. If I knew I'd live 30 I'd have consumed more and invested less obviously
haha little cheng - the first thing you think about is proper consumption of your resources
Yeah, life is pretty awesome
Indifferent, perhaps moderately disappointed, but mostly relieved.
This is what I think too. It's not that I'm thinking about death (my own at least), but I am considering more frequently how to make a positive impact in the world and in my community.
Really man? On a Tuesday?
No - there are several natural wonders I need to put my eyes on and roads I need to drive.
Well, I am currently living in a state of mortal sin and have achieved nothing of note in my 28 years of life, so no, I am most definitely not eager to shuffle off my mortal coil anytime soon. If, however, my number were indeed to be called up today, I hope that I would find the courage to embrace the unknown, hoping to see and be light.
As of my writing this, I'm in a state of mortal sin as well and need to get to terms with that quickly.
Funny thing is, I almost died on Saturday. That would have been a real joke of an end, far away from home, in the shivering cold, one week after my last confession and again in deep, deep mortal sin. Maybe that's why I didn't die back then, because I still have some level of saintliness to achieve.
Lmao definitely not. There's way more I have to accomplish in life first, though I hope at 60 years old I can say yes to your question
I wouldn't have any regrets, but I wouldn't be satisfied.
There is a difference.
Because only God can satisfy you. He is the ultimate fullness, and all the desire in the world will be quenched by Him.
