RE: Weekend-engagement week 67: The important week

in Weekend Experiences3 years ago

Health, happiness and freedom are amazingly important as is each person's idea of these things. You clarify freedom really nicely and tie it in with your other two choices well.

Can I ask, what is something you have or do, that is one of the least important in the grand scheme of life?

Sort:  

You know that you can ask me just about anything, however, very honestly I find this question even trickier than the original one.

Looking at me and the life I'm living I cannot pinpoint one 'thing' that is least important to me. I have lived long enough that almost all things I have serve a good purpose. If need be I can live without a lot of them e.g. physical books - I love them, but these days 99 % of the time I read on my iPad and there are other physical things.

When it comes to what I do - unfortunately, I don't think it is possible for me to not have my job and certainly my art is very important to me and sports are important for my health. I could do without traveling, I guess - as 2020 has shown us - and live through the internet.

Looking back at my life I would say that one of the least important things I've done is buy expensive cars 😜. Though they were a lot of fun at the time, but that money was wasted.

Hey, great answer, and I enjoyed the journey to it, the ticking off of items.

I agree with your response though. I've had many very expensive cars and a total of 45 cars in my 51 years of life...Seems such a waste now. I know work out what I need and buy that - Need over want.

Good answer here. Thanks. (I wanted to push you a bit harder.). 😇

45 (!) cars?! How? Why? What the... that's crazy🥴

Yeah. I know. I had two at once sometimes. But...Somehow that doesn't really justify it I guess.

No justification needed. I'm sure at the time it was what you needed/wanted/enjoyed and then you moved on.

It was dumb. But sometimes it takes hindsight to see it. 🤔

Who am I to argue with that 🤣
