What one thing in life would keep it worth living? - General Discussion

lemoncurd · 08-02-2007, 20:06

Philosophy now.........

Q. If you lost everything you held dear in life, what one thing would keep you sane?

I'm going to make it a bit harder though......relatives and partners are excluded.

For me, it would be the ability to travel and see other bits of the world. No luxuries, just the ability to see things.

Both your laptop and you dog are allowed (but one only!)

Nothing for me. In fact I can't even bear to imagine what it would be like if I lost my partner and/or children.......shite.....that's taken me to a place I really don't want to go....

I second that entirely! There's nothing that could mean enough.

Same here! I was going to say my son, but if I can't give that an option I don't want to even think about it.

To get into a nice comfortable bed at night in a quiet room, and sleep soundly.

Learning through anyway possible.

Hearing properly again.

Raring_to_go · 08-02-2007, 22:04

For myself it would have to be a thought........

It would be the thought that I was missing something.....

What a sad person I am......

08-02-2007, 22:06

Books. I feel like I'm missing something if I don't read.
