Here is a picture of the famous actor and star of countless films of the 40’s and 50’s, like “The adventures of Robinhood”. This is Errol Flynn at age 49, not long before he died at age 50!
The coroner was quoted as saying “he looked like an old man of 80.” In this photo, he is nearly THREE years younger than I am now, and he pretty much destroyed his body with alcohol. Hey kids, don’t try this at home!
Who says it has to be either/or. You can live to be 80, look realtively good, be in great shape and have a great life! So your reply was a total non-sequitor.
Haha not at all. Who said anything about not having a life? Not me. You can live life to the hilt and not wear yourself out, but drugs, alcohol and bad habits can cut your [only] life way short. That’s no fun.
But, to be honest, Flynn packed more into his 50 years than most ppl do in 5 lifetimes, so I don’t feel too bad about him dying at 50. Thing is, he could have lived much, much longer if he hadn’t drank himself to death, and would’ve had even a better life than he did, whcih was pretty amazing!
It is certainly better to die than never to live. Too many people waste their lives trying to postpone their deaths.
But alcoholism is no joke. There is an important and fundamental difference between enjoying a drink and sometimes getting drunk, and being an alcoholic. I have met many jovial alcoholics, but no happy ones.
That statement doesn’t fully make sense. Everybody has their own idea of what “living” is all about. Some people are content and vey happy leading “simple” uneventful lives. Others are daredevils and tempt fate at every turn; I’m somewhere in the middle, but there is no doubt that I have had a more varied and colorful life (so far) than the average person. Live smart, not hard!
Thread jack!!!
I had to look this up
Hypertrichosis.
I used to wanta a tail (when I was a kid). Then I realized it would be pink and bald. Yuck. I changed my mind. I should have wished for a tail and hypertrichosis.
