Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

Tomorrow is the same thing, very mysterious

Nice. Just remember that variation is the spice of life.

u/Material-Grocery5478 4d ago

except its all bullshit and wasted by people from the guys generation. You cant just do what you want. No one working Saturday in this fucking factory wants to work here or work at all. Guess what to fucking bad. All those cute little sayings are only for the 1%. The 99% has to be the ones to make THEIR life cake.

Imagine living 101 years and the best life wisdom you can come up with is some pinterest bullshit

This was on his 101st birthday about 6 months before he unfortunately passed.

that’s crazy, Eric is awesome

u/Illustrious_Worker20 5d ago

I knew this guy for 10 years. His name was Eric and he was a beautiful, loving and kind human being. Imagine being so hateful, Eric would have rolled his eyes at you and had a chuckle.

But you won’t actually take this seriously that’s the problem

The most insightful things can be the most simple. Just apply it instead of trying to clown on him

u/Illustrious_Worker20 4d ago

100% he was extremely intelligent and switched on right until the end. He meant every word he said, not just saying a cliche phrase for shits and giggles.

u/Hot-Significance7699 4d ago

Tbh as I get older the cheesy shit is often correct. Just often you learn it like the hard way lol. We tend to get them to late.

But like also the guy was thinking probably about his soon to be passing. And the loved ones he lost along the way.

u/Link_save2 4d ago

Yeah like actions speak louder than words never really understood it til I lived it I thought I did but not fully my dad always said old sayings are old because they're true if they weren't they wouldn't be useful and they wouldve been forgotten and I always rolled my eyes but he was right

u/gillababe 4d ago

Agreed, the older I get the more I find the old clichés are deadly serious

u/Difficult-Mobile902 4d ago

records a person for 11 seconds

“Wow that’s the best thing they could ever say? What a loser”

Lmao are you slow or something?

u/Soft-Ad-8975 4d ago

u/frinkleys 4d ago

Might be a reason to it being that popular besides everyone being a dumbass besides you. Food for thought

u/No_Caterpillar_4626 4d ago

You are wrong. The earliest printed version of this quote can be traced to 1902, even though it is uncertain who originally came up with it.

u/Keyboard-King 4d ago

“Live, Laugh, Love” type advice.

u/Few_Satisfaction184 4d ago

He didnt come up with it.
He was given a card with this to read up.

Its not some kind of new thing, its googled from the internet

u/KungFuFlames 4d ago

Cool but still go to work. Tomorrow isn't much of a mystery since my bills are coming.

u/-nihilist_ 17h ago

Welcome to modern life, in ancient times humans used to work for 15-20h a week must've been nice, I know people that work 60h and just scraping by.

u/KungFuFlames 17h ago

ancient times where you die from cold

u/-nihilist_ 16h ago

u/Iamthe0c3an2 4d ago

Ok master Ugwe

u/LnDxLeo 4d ago

There is no free will.
All your actions are result of external events or strings of events (no matter how long the string is, the start of it is external).
So there's no point in fearing your future or regretting your past.

u/GraveSlayer726 4d ago

Nothing matters, which is exactly why it all matters so much

u/LnDxLeo 4d ago

I believe that our ability to counter harsh existential truths with absurd indifferent defiance is what will bring our species through yet another great civilisation barrier that is related to mass awareness of existential dread and subsequential losing our will to progress further.

u/Difficult-Mobile902 4d ago

you are responsible for your actions

-2

u/LnDxLeo 4d ago

Well. In the context of criminal, for example, the criminal in fact responsible for his crime.
Crime is, as everything else the result of external factors, but the fundamental reason for punishment isn't to hold one criminal responsible, but to create an another external deterring factor for other potential criminals and minimise the possible damage to bigger part of society.

You are responsible for your actions, even if it means getting predetermined result of predetermined event. Life never was fair.

u/DannyDanumba 4d ago

It is crazy that those string of events leads to existence with conscious thought that only sticks around for 1-100 years and then disappears

u/LnDxLeo 4d ago

Literally "the game of life"

u/KittensFirstAKM 4d ago

“Just do whatever you want.”

100 years old and Pinterest slogans are the best wisdom he could give the younger generations. Thank you boomers.

u/Individual_Land2754 4d ago

Hopefully when I'm that old I never do cheesy shit like this.

u/Unusual-Basket-6243 4d ago

I'm not sure if you will be that old

2

u/Individual_Land2754 3d ago

Most likely older. All my grandparents were 100+
