And it can be as simple things, like your wife/girlfriend, do not have seasoned your food enough, or you do not really have the same opinions on how you think your boss, the company employs you manage the work ... . or someone in your circle of people you know acting like a donkey.

Or that you simply are a bit off balance, and feel that now I have time off, to get some rest.

And that "someone" where you plug has been pain in your PC, or stashed your favorite movie or book.....So practically what is in the life!

Continues from the old thread.

How can you make sure you never miss your target? Shoot first, and whatever you hit, call it the target.

That refers to Dante, I suppose, the scripture over the entry to hell.
The interesting thing is, it is claimed that Dante mixed up his travel notes from which he transcribed the final version. The common publication in Italian orginal is

Voi che entrate, abbandonate ogni speranza - You who enter, abandon all hope.

But what the poet in truth wanted to write there, according to his notes, was this:

Lasciare andare ogni speranza e poi entrare - (First) Let go all hope, and then enter.

He who has no hope in his heart, cannot get disappointed or desperate, but he could get royally surprised.

I speak no Italian, I know these described facts, but used a reverse transalation by DppL to come to the Italian lines. But if memory does not completely fool me, they sound indeed like what I seem to recall. I first read about it in a book by Watzlawick, and then later again somewhere else, online.

I'm not afraid to die. I just don't like the thought of being gone so long!
