I'm getting old

I feel there is something quite miraculous about being a human being. I see amazing things all the time in nature from all kinds of species and it stuns me, but for them it's just life. From a different perspective the human race could be quite the spectacle.

I'm sure life does look good for us. To the starving cat, outside a buffet, watching us eat mindlessly. That cat truely wishes he was human, that moment.
At the same time, I wish I could kill a mouse and eat it... without being called "weird".

I enjoyed this thought.

I can go on, if you want. I have more.

You should probably quit while you're ahead.

Ultimately, all that matters in life is how much you enjoyed yourself. Saying that something is "bad" or "good" for you really has no point, unless those "bad" or "good" things influence how much you enjoy your life. And saying that something is "bad" or "good" for someone else would be akin to telling them what their favorite food is, in my opinion. Good and bad are unique to the individual, and only the individual can decide what they are.

Sorry for the potential derailment, I skimmed the thread and this is the topic I arrived at.

But then again, sometimes, you really can't tell if you liked something. Maybe you liked it at first, but you only thought you liked it because life sucked hard at the time, but then you look back on it and realize that all your current problems have been caused by what you started to do that you thought was good, now realizing it wasn't, now you ran yourself into a ditch, all because of one thing, which lead to one more, which you thought was good, but it wasn't.
Then you don't enjoy anything, once you realize that.

Your best post, probably ever. Unfortunately, it'll be the only one.

For the record, I think you start getting old right about the time that you say "I think I'm getting old." I don't plan on doing it for a long, long fucking time.

Old is in the eye of the beholder.. I'll never get old..

I think that it could also have an inverse effect given that the older I feel the harder i'm going to try to hold onto my youth. I think everyone can releate to that, even if they don't admit it to themselves.

How old are you anyways? You can't be past 30.

As for Skurai, the thought would've worked, except for the fact that cats don't have the ability to recognize themselves. In other words, lacking this skill would not deem them enough intelligence to want to be other beings besides themselves. It would've been more correct to say that a cat simply wanted the food the humans were eating, but nothing past that.
