Kierkegaard said that some people think that the end and aim of life is work, and he describes these people as the most tedious in his "Either/Or." He also says that he believes instead that the end and aim of life is to enjoy oneself. My sister and BIL both fall into the work category, and my sister is still working full time at 72. My BIL had to retire at 84 because he was coming down with Alzheimer's. For Kierkegaard change is what prevents people from becoming boring, and he believed that boredom was the root of all evil. He also said that there were two types of people: those who bore themselves and those who bore others. He considered those who bore themselves to be the elite, and that these people often entertained others, whereas those who bore others are the common mass of people. In enjoyed my work and miss parts of it but not all of it. I would like to be able to do some freelance work at this stage of my life, but nothing too structured. My brother would like to retire so that he could spend more of his time painting, but that will have to wait for a few years - until he can qualify for Medicare.

Lol, Jasdip, I’m not Icelandic, I don’t think, but I do know that the people of Iceland don’t have last names, or at least last names (surnames) in the way most people have them. Most use only their first name and there are rules about first names as well. I would think it would probably be hard to easily discover a long lost cousin. “Unlike most other Western countries Icelanders do not use family names but use a patronymic or matronymic reference. One's name reflects the immediate father or mother and does not refer to the person's historic family lineage.” I haven’t seen Fight Club, but I would guess there is blood in every scene. 🩸

A paper map, probably folded incorrectly. Which irritates daddy to no end (he took a class in how to fold a map. Military. What will they think of next?).

My first reaction is fire extinguisher, too. It should be closer to 100%, but I'll bet the reality is quite different.

Interesting. How many of you have those things in your vehicles?

I know I have the dead bugs. Many of the 'emergency' things I don't have. Does that make me bad?
