Comments on: Tell me what you want… http://timelady.com/blog/2008/08/04/tell-me-what-you-want/ more nonsensical ramblings are needed online Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:16:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: DewiMorgan http://timelady.com/blog/2008/08/04/tell-me-what-you-want/#comment-73154 DewiMorgan Mon, 04 Aug 2008 19:56:25 +0000 http://timelady.com/blog/2008/08/04/tell-me-what-you-want/#comment-73154 I have a few goals in life. I think of them as "Things to do before I die". I want to get married to the woman I love. I want to live with her. Which means getting to live in the US. Which means getting a visa. Which means paying off my debts. Which means finding a well-paid job [DONE! Check that one off the list! Whoo!] The above is my main task at the moment, as it is at the top of my list of things to do before I die. I also want to write a huge multiplayer game. That's something I do on the weekends, when I can, since I cannot always work at reducing my debts. I also want to destroy copyright, or at least make a large dent in it, by creating a new means for artists to get paid for their work without having to become eternal parasites. I have plans for this, but it is a low priority in the list. I also want to save lives. Again, I have plans to do this on a large scale, but it is bottom of my list of things to do before I die. I would like to save at least one life before I die though: it would feel balanced. I have a few goals in life. I think of them as “Things to do before I die”.

The above is my main task at the moment, as it is at the top of my list of things to do before I die.

I also want to write a huge multiplayer game. That’s something I do on the weekends, when I can, since I cannot always work at reducing my debts.

I also want to destroy copyright, or at least make a large dent in it, by creating a new means for artists to get paid for their work without having to become eternal parasites. I have plans for this, but it is a low priority in the list.

I also want to save lives. Again, I have plans to do this on a large scale, but it is bottom of my list of things to do before I die. I would like to save at least one life before I die though: it would feel balanced.

In fact, the only thing I can think of that would persuade me to surrender my life (in part or whole) is if that would somehow save the life of one of my loved ones. Otherwise, life is too dear to me to give any of it up for a change in my circumstances.

Trust me, being ill and in pain reduces enough quality of life to more than compensate. I would gladly sacrifice 5 years of my life to ensure that the rest of it is healthy.

At the very least, it should grand one a guiding light to overcome the mentioned problems without the need for wishes. Or put more simply, the wisdom to deal with these things.
