This morning a rather nasty little incident occurred which made my own mortality abruptly obvious.
Life is too short and precious to waste in unhappiness, bitterness or fighting.
My question is this: what does it take to make you take the time to realise that your life is precious and shouldn't be wasted in negativity?

squirt - I think what you said pretty much sums it up.

PIn - So it's not my imagination. I haven't much of a look arounds on R&S for the last few days, so only just noticed how prickly it is. It's rather sad...

I agree with you!
We shouldn't let someone or something to make us unhappy
and being positive is the important thing to get happiness

The death of people you know tends to put it all in perspective. You only have from now until youn die to do what is important and it's up to you, not someone else. Languishing in anger and hatred is a luxury you can't afford as life is too short for that.

... I'm glad you asked this question.
there are probably "cycles" which progress, often unpredictably, thru the arena of any human collective consciousness (which Y!A R&S *is* in this case)
I quite agree about awareness of mortality ... which *should* elevate peoples' viewpoints, but we are each carrying a battleground of inner-demons/stressors [my opinion here] which we are able to overcome only in part .. and only some of the time [few super-woman/superman exist]
but the result of lives lived with subliminal conflict is what you observe.
And I *wish* that it was only a matter of "realization" of precious-nature-of-life (which is true,,, BUT)... but I feel that it's deeper, cause-wise
mercy

it's not new to R&S, people get cranky when others don't agree with their religious views & trolls can get the biggest reaction out of people here. I think it is spreading to other catagories though...... I actually have been finding trolls in the Food & Drink catagory.... sad

Too many people are worried about being right. Causes a loss of common sense. Pride has a way of doing that.

You're only noticing this tonight? I've been noticing it for days - it's made me leave within a half hour of getting on here.

losing my identical twin was hard......I have NEVER been a negative person, but her dying put a lot of things into perspective
