As You Get Older

[nailit]

Do you find yourself getting more or less altruistic?
Personally (at aged 50) I'm getting less.
I see humans as been nothing more than a cancer upon the Earth, the sooner we are eradicated the better.
Just saying!

Jeezo fella, calm down.

[Tilly2]

Feeling a bit down tonight, Nailit?

[nailit]

//Feeling a bit down tonight, Nailit? //
Nah Tills, just realistic.

[Mamyalynne]

Have I ever felt like that?

Yes and I sought help - now as before I treasure my life and everyone in it and the world we occupy.

[Islay]

What a shame you feel like that there is so much beauty in the world (yes even with humans).

[Tilly2]

So you feel that you are now less caring about other people?

Is that really so? Are you becoming more selfish and self centred?

[nailit]

//What a shame you feel like that//
Not really islay.
Just seems that the older you get the more *** lifes gets. normal really.

[nailit]

Tills, that isn't what I said or implied...

[Islay]

I'm 44 and I am glad I don't feel like you do, I still have so much to achieve and so many goals to aim for.

[Tilly2]

You said you were becoming less altruistic........?

[kawanabe]

Shower,shave,and press a shirt(Background:favourite tunes)..and get down to a proper local boozer...and get away from this Lot!

[Old_Geezer]

And they will all turn to dust when you no longer exist.
I just find I'm more irate and less tolerant. I fear it might be the early signs of dementia. But that doesn't stop everything and everyone bring superfluous, anyway.

[nailit]

//You said you were becoming less altruistic//
I didn't say that but, yes, I admit I implied that.
I don't know, I'm just at the end of my tether. Be glad when life is done with. Humans are scum on the earth.

[Tilly2]

As I get older I suffer fools less gladly. I, too, have less patience than I used to have.

[Tilly2]

Nailit, you have written:-

[Tilly2]

I think Kawanabe's advice, to get out of the flat, is something you should consider.

Geroff dahn pub!

I'm assuming you are drinking nailit, it does tend to make you quite sad/angry ,,( if you have not been imbibing tonight I apologize ).

[Jackdaw33]

I agree with Tilly. It's only masochistic tendencies which keep me on this site.

I've always believed that:
(a) no human being is worth more than a dog turd ; and
(b) the ultimate aim of mankind is the self-destruction of our species (and the sooner it happens the better).

So Nailit and I should get on very well together!
