Hilarious! This is just... hysterically funny. This is so amusing it hurts .
Regardless you're gonna live till 109 .. at least, whether you like it or not.
If your door handle is strong enough, that is )

This entire thread should be moved to floodilka or, better yet, deleted.

She is very sober in her assessment. How did she manage to formulate the idea so simply and briefly? )))

tourist, I thought you would say I had stolen that from somewhere))))
Olya,
Wonderful expression, huh? I believe she may be one of the feminist movement. It is quite popular abroad. I am just curious if she obeyed that rule all her life? Probably, for men the rule is the same: the main secret of living quite a long and happy (and wealthy) life is avoiding women. Is not it? Quite short and simple.))) It can become a new philosophical dilemma. Good food for thought. Let's discuss it.

Irregardless,

Old people are special. How can we really know what they think and feel? That makes it much less interesting to discuss.

I have an idea for an even longer life - stay away from all people. Just in case.

Come on, this is not the point of feminism. At least it wasn't originally.

Do nuns and monks live so long? If they did, it would be a well known fact. So I think they don't, which makes this rule a mere fantasy.

acapnotic,Sometimes I would like to quote a song: "Isolation is not good for me. Isolation. I don’t want to sit on a lemon tree."
Sometimes I would say that communication is too disturbing. It depends. But, in general, I am not a great fan of "privacy" concept, like Britons, who are just obsessed with private life, private thoughts and private things. I believe, to live in society and be free from society is impossible. Communication --- it what turns animals into human beings. We code lots of information, feelings, motivations into our language, phrases, collocations, and expressions which we use, our body language, tone of voice, tembre, pitch, etc. Animals have their coded language as well, but it is not so rich and diverse.

Irregardless, I'd think it's rather our 'private thoughts', i.e. our inner world that makes the difference between us and other animals. Because, as you say yourself, they communicate too. But do they have the notion of 'I'?
