Life Is Passing Us By

Life is passing us by. It doesn't matter if you are 18 or 80, every day that passes is another day where you did nothing to make your mark on society.

How many of us have actually done something worthwhile in our lifetime? I don't mean being the best salesman at work or winning a trophy for darts or fisting, I mean something genuinely worthwhile that helps another human being. Something that people will talk about long after you are in the ground. Something future generations of your family will be proud of.

My great grandad won a medal for bravery in the first world war, he saved two injured soldiers under fire and the story is well documented. Even though I never met him I am extremely proud of him. His legacy to the Whittam family is extreme bravery.

But what have I done? Nothing is the answer. Ok, people will remember me as having a great knowledge of football, for being a hot chick, and for building a major plc in Whittam International. They may even remember my 1994 volley at Deepdale, but I won't be remembered for having done anything beyond the call of duty or exceptional.

Do you feel the same way? Are we wasting our lives worrying about Bolton's back four or the price of vaseline? Weren't we put on this Earth for more than working five days a week to pay the mortgage?

Fisting?????

I often have days where I think about my life and what I've achieved. I have an ok job, great family, a decent life in general - but on my deathbed when I look back at my life what will I really have achieved? Nothing as things stand. Will I be remembered? Not by anyone outside of my family and close friends.

I have dedicated my life to giving pleasure to the ladies of Lancashire. My length will be remembered long after I'm gone. They may even erect a statue of it in Brierfield.

I think she meant fishing!

I did indeed mean fishing you perverts. Is fisting even a thing?

Yep you're right Nat.

It's a shame isn't it.

I think it is. Do you not want to be remembered when you're gone?

I do, but I've come to terms with the fact i won't be.

But you're young enough to change your life and make people remember you. Close your Nuts account, stop looking at nipples on the internet, and go out and make something of yourself!

This is your time, what does it matter long after all who lived with you are gone. just be thankful you have people who love you now.

Have you taken a life coaching course at OU or something? lol.

and you can't close your account on here, i've tried many times in a fit of peak after you've called me a bellend.

I'm actually a masked superhero at night, saving the little old ladies of Greater Manchester from all the muggers, murderers and rapists they encounter during their 3am strolls. I think thats pretty worthwhile!

That just about sums it up for most people ! One thing is for sure, the years just fly by so it's important to make the best of the life you have.

Indeed, but anyone can go out today and put their mark on life, it really is upto you.

Let a homeless bum sleep in your spare room so he can get back on his feet. Take a hooker off the street by getting her a job at your company. Lock a drug addict in your cellar and don't let him out for 12 months until he's clean.

We can all do something inspirational.

I think that one is probably against the law.
