What Is Life

Life is a roller coaster
  No, no, no. That’s been used

O.K. Life’s hard, then you die
  Nope. Heard that one too

Alright. Life’s a series of hairpin turns
  A little overdramatic, perhaps 

Hmm… Life’s a sucker punch to the gut
  Anthony Blinken would sue me…

O.K. Life’s a never-ending series of surprises
  Eh… Way overdone, don’t you think

I’ve got it now: At today's prices
  Life's a never-ending crisis

Valsa George Date: 4/5/2022 4:43:00 AM Then what's life? When pondering over life, do we become more wise or grow more foolish ..... I wonder ! Insightful write ! Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/5/2022 6:21:00 PM Insights hard to come by on this topic, methinks...

Anselmo Boles Date: 4/4/2022 10:56:00 PM Reading the title, I thought you'd spill out a very profound philosophical description of what it is.. No worries, I don't have a" worthy to be debated" point of view either!...ab Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/5/2022 6:22:00 PM Profound philosophy? Me? ~ Pro Found Phil or Sophie

L Milton Hankins Date: 4/4/2022 7:41:00 PM That's been used, too, gw. How about a simple two-worder: life is. Or, maybe, life sucks. Let me erase this and start over. Hey, maybe that's what life is!

Jeff Kyser Date: 4/4/2022 7:01:00 PM Life’s a box of cereal Mikey ate in the 80s… Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 4/4/2022 7:03:00 PM Gosh, Jeff. Where were you when I was wrestling with this question? I should have known that life was a bowl of cereal -- not a bowl of cherries. ~ Silly me
