God,not fallible man and vain philosophies.

Answer 2

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a ******* big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of ******* fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing spirit- crushing game shows, stuffing ******* junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, ******-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would you want to do a thing like that? - Irvine Welsh.

Answer 15

In no particular order:

- Never get married before you're 25. Before you're 25, you have no idea what you're going to want for the next fifty years of your life, and after 25 you probably /still/ won't know, but at least you won't have to go through a messy divorce.

- See above about having kids.

- If you get married, STAY married. You shouldn't marry someone thinking, "If this doesn't work out, I'll just get a divorce," simply because if you go into it thinking that, you /will/ get a divorce. You've set yourself up for failure before you've even begun. STAY married, and work things out, and be honest, and love.

- Everyone, everyone, has been wounded. When you remember that everyone has felt the kind of pains you've felt, it makes it easier to love them for the people they are, rather than the things they do or say that might hurt you.

- Pretend that everyone is a newspaper reporter, and change your actions accordingly. If you wouldn't want it read in the six-o'clock news, don't do it.

- If you always tell the truth, you never have to remember which stories you've told.

- Being upset takes more energy than letting it go and smiling.

- If you say, "You know, you're right. I was wrong. I'm sorry," to someone you're in an argument with, it usually catches them so off guard that they shut up about it.

- Everyone farts. Those who say they don't are lying. Because everyone shares that one basic, essential truth, there's no point in fighting with each other. Even Hitler farted. Stalin. Ghandi. Buddha probably farted, too, until he reached Enlightenment. And even then, he probably farted, because it's man's nature to do so. I'm absolutely certain that Jesus farted, too, because if he was God in Man's form, and all men f**t, well.. There you go. Jesus farted, too.

- If there's a problem that seems too huge to handle, break it down into smaller pieces. If you need an entire mouth's work of dental work done, start with one tooth at a time.

- When cleaning a giant mess for the first time, place Like with Like. Paper in a paper pile, cloth in a cloth pile, junk in a junk pile, then deal with each pile as a separate entity, rather than being overwhelmed by the whole mess.

- It's better to have a job that pays little money, than to have no job at all.

- Pray. Even if you don't believe in the God you're praying to, just saying, "God, if you exist, I need help with this," helps you, because you hear yourself giving yourself comfort and hope. If you need a God to pray to, you can borrow mine. He has an elephant's face and a heart that can contain the world.

- If it seems too good to be true, it is. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy it while it lasts, but make sure you don't set yourself up for disappointment by expecting more out of it than you get.

- The two greatest needs of a human being are to Love, and to Do. People think it's to Be Loved, and to Be Needed, but that isn't the case. That misconception is the main reason people's marriages break up: they forget that they're supposed to Love their spouse, rather than demand love /from/ their spouse. Give without expectations of receiving, and you will always be happy. Do it for free, and for fun, because you want to, and for no other reason. You will never be disappointed.

- The only failure there is, is never to try.

- Surrender doesn't mean giving up and feeling depressed and feeling sorry for yourself. Surrender means accepting the current situation for what it is, for the good and the bad, for the facts of the situation, and for what you're feeling. Once you've accepted all of those things, surrender is merely saying, "Alright. Here's what it is. It sucks. I'm unhappy," and then doing something about it.
