Which one would make you feel the best?
He had no regrets and died happy.
But seeing how I'm not a very serious dude.
'He was a god like being who transcended this plane of existence and became one with the universe experiencing each life's experiences, past present and future.'
Unlike hingehead, I am going to assume that it would be during my lifetime. If I was dead, it wouldn't make be feel the best or any other way. :-)
He is honest, fair and faithful.
I can tell you things that were recently said to me that made me feel really good....
~ a prof of early child psych told me she thought I'd make a wonderful teacher.
~ my sister told someone else how I read up on all sorts of topics and was a good source for medical and scientific news. (maybe that felt good because of family dynamics more than anything else).
I do think you'd make a wonderful teacher. I'm not sure if you could stand it long-term, but for as long as you could stand it, I think you'd be great.
I'm worried about the standing it part myself.
What about you, Soz?
Actually, when people say nice things about me when I'm alive it makes me feel a little weird and uncomfortable. I'd rather they acted nice to me than said nice things about me. I wonder what childhood trauma is at the root of that.
A man (who does not know I am gay) saying to me "you make me wish I was a woman"
p.s. This happened to me last year at a party in New York
...& then, prince, you said:

Yeah, agreed.
Or perhaps they could give you money or do something useful, rather than just TALK about you?
:wink:
The very best thing anyone could say about me, I think, would be something like... despite the fact that my childhood was a living hell, I managed to turn it into a way to help other people.
"You are a very good Dad."
Yep, (well, mom), that's the first thing I thought of, too.
Yep, I'll second that. My aunt, who I think the world of, once said that to me and I almost cried. It just made me feel really good, probably because I think so much of the way she raised her kids.
My Son's long term girlfriend the other day....."You're the Dad I never had".(her Dad left home when she was six).
I think it was a compliment! But never having had a daughter, it made me all coochy. Now I know how Dads with daughters get wrapped around little fingers.
I hope they stay together.
Right now I'd like to hear that I am not an unreasonable woman.
You are an eminently reasonable woman. Probably among the most reasonable women (or men) I have ever met.
Gosh, Noddy, not only are you NOT unreasonable, you are exceedingly wise. I think you've helped more people on A2K than you can imagine!
And same for Sozobe! It's women like the 2 of you who have helped make A2K the caring, helping place it is today.
Stumble It!
