Have You Enjoyed Your Life

[nailit]

Ive got no idea what life is about (or even if its got a meaning) but straight forward question, have you enjoyed your stay on Earth?

[jennyjoan]

Ups and Downs - greats and not so greats.

The main things I had wonderful parents - lovely parents. Thanks be to God

[tonyav]

So far, yes nailit. I've had a great time so far.

[237SJ]

Gosh yes, absolutely

[woofgang]

There's been good and very good bad and very bad.

[Prudie]

Mainly yes. I wasted 10 years of it with a total a-hole but that was my fault for sticking around.

[jennyjoan]

Nailit - have you enjoyed your life - more's to the point.

[nailit]

Personaly, I havnt *enjoyed* life one little bit...its all been a battle.

[jourdain2]

Some bits, yes. Had some very bad bits, gone the wrong way, made bad decisions - but from where I am now all the old sayings seem to ring true.
I am now happy - yes there are family problems, money problems etc.. I You appreciate the good because of the bad. I've made mistakes, one serious one, but I paid the price and sorted it out and I'm a more understanding person because of it.

I would like to have another go at the middle bit of life - armed with what I now know! - but that is impossible. I suppose the answer is 'yes' - I know it has been a valuable life which has helped people and that is my main measure.

[-SharonA-]

That's life Nailit. No one has a stress free life.
But i've enjoyed my life with it's ups and downs.

[jennyjoan]

SORRY TO HEAR THAT NAILIT - BUT SURELY SOME WERE GOOD - SORRY FOR UPPERCASE.

[Old_Geezer]

Some of it.
Mostly it's just been there.
Hope there's more to personal existence than three score years and ten here.

[237SJ]

"I've got no idea what life is about (or even if its got a meaning)" It hasn't got a meaning and it's not about anything (apart from enjoying yourself and having the best time that you can) It's just 'life'

[ummmm]

Yep...I've had some bad times but I never dwell on them day to day. Mainly it's been interesting and quite good fun.

[tamborine]

Its okay but could be better if my OH was alive.

[237SJ]

You asked a very similar question a while ago on here. Maybe you should go and get some CBT or something (I don't mean to insult - just my thoughts)

[Mamyalynne]

Overall yes, despite the sad times which are all part and parcel of being alive.

[ummmm]

*I should say I don't dwell on them 'anymore'

[237SJ]

Ummm - that's the 'thing' When you dwell on things you can get really depressed. That's what happened to me after my Mum died - I couldn't stop dwelling. We have to live in the 'now'

[tamborine]

Youre quite a philosopher with your deep life questions, nailit.

[OldBather]

Yes,in patches.
70 years old now.
Wonderful Marriage of 42 years.
So,mostly good,especially after meeting partner.
But oh where did it all go(so quickly)?
