Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever.
Neil Gaiman
The only thing I’m scared of is dying.
Don’t know if I can ‘do it’
(Also, Neil, have Nike contacted you for copyright infringement?)
Mistakes last forever
So do crocs
I don't recommend

Civilized
Mesopotamia yearly
Kills their king
The Mesopotamians started the tradition of celebrating New Year.
Zagmuk?
The first-ever New Year celebrations took place in 2000 BC.
There is a beginning
To every tradition
Which necessitates
Persistence
And often
Sacrifice
But beware the blood given
In the name of unforeseen fruit
Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life

(Especially not if it’s your first year. Good luck finding someone to change your diaper for 75 years)
Naani: time won’t change
To wait for change
Is to stare dead eyed
into the eternal
face of time

“Mistakes last forever so do crocs?” The ugly shoe or the animal ?

I think the animals live as long as humans. The shoes, only time will tell. But I imagine in the apocalyptic future giant cockroaches will be wearing them while eating Twinkies.

Fitting words for the season. Well done … Oh … something is only a mistake if you do it twice … the first time is the learning experience.

Thank you, Frank.
Very true. Provided you haven’t been informed of the mistake or been present when others have made the mistake.

Thanks. A little change is good for a person. It’s when we resist that we encounter a problem 👍

How strange it is to think that the only thing you are afraid of is dying whilst for me it is the opposite. I am not afraid to die: everyone knows how to do this whether they know it or not; When the time comes, they just die. The end. Nobody does not know how to die and then don’t die. There is nothing to it. Living is scarier because there are so many possibilities tied to it, different ways of suffering or flourishing which seems never-ending. I guess in a way I want to make the best use of “living” and that isn’t always evident

I don’t think I’m afraid I dying, I chose something to contradict old Gaiman. They fact that its one of life greatest fears helps. Although I read recently more people have a fear of public speaking than death 🤣
Personally I don’t know what I’m afraid of most, I don’t think about it enough to know.
You just summed up the pros and cons of living and dying so well 👍
