Good call, although Shakespeare sort of beat you to it. He has it as:

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Hi TheLonelySea,

It looks like your comment closely matches the famous quote:

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time;And all our yesterdays have lighted foolsThe way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard no more. It is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing." - William Shakespeare,

I'm a bot and this action was automatic Project source.

You are correct, of course, I am lucky - but:

Heard your comment most of my life in the version - “eat your broccoli, think of the starving children in Africa”.

Never saw the sense in it. I just don’t get it

>eat your broccoli, think of the starving children in Africa”.

Surely we should instead give the broccoli to said starving African children?

I’m still waiting for life’s punchline.

Because it stopped being funny years ago.

My life is constantly giving me the punch, but sadly with out the line.

Before I had children my life was a joke.

Now it is a dad-joke.

Laugh through it as much as you can, then, because you'll be unconscious much longer than you're awake.

Newsflash for Mod:

An entire thought is rarely in the title.

Don’t know about you, but I do not normally think in language/sentences/titles. I think in meanings/blobs, concepts and pictures, and can often simplify them to form sentences.

Keyword here is ‘simplify’. It means something is thrown away. So yes, you are right, “entire thought is not in the title”. Which is not an entire thought - or sentence - and is a rule that bars anyone with a thinking pattern like mine from posting.

Most thoughts are connected to many tings in your life via associations, memories and possibly traumas. So an entire thought, fully formulated would be book length. You do not want that!
