Hopefully you might have another angle on it, from the oriental experience you have!

I always detested the spirit of that Pink Floyd song.

How the mighty have.... well, moved sideways (to put a modern spin on it) - music's loss was surely education's great gain mister pudding..... and if you were a Rick Wakemanesque rock star that made us all poo ourselves at your gigs by producing brown noise.... well that'd all be great but we wouldn't be able to read all these blogs without the teachers...... sounds like that pink floyd song where those unbearably chirpy children were harping on about "not needing no education" whereby they were clearly expressing double negatives.... most certainly implying that they did indeed need education!! You can rest easy in that knowledge... I think!ArcticFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406779213296821110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-34620000951006783142012-05-20T10:39:18.042+01:002012-05-20T10:39:18.042+01:00KATHERINE It's all so random.

Yes - one lifetime is not enough - sounds like the title of a new James Bond film!<br />HELEN You're right to remind us of "Sliding Doors" - it does explore that tormenting "What if..." that is in all of us. Once in a while I might sing in the shower and perhaps soon "I'll pick up my guitar and play just like yesterday" though I haven't addressed it in months now.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-40291235801710769952012-05-20T03:59:48.944+01:002012-05-20T03:59:48.944+01:00Have you ever seen that film "Sliding Doors&q...Have you ever seen that film "Sliding Doors"?

To extend Jenny's idea, wouldn't it be great if along the way(s) we could have split off from ourselves, and chosen other paths simultaneously. And then maybe joined back together at a certain prearranged date in the future. My brain would be bursting with all the different things I would have done!<br />One lifetime is not enough!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-25775776921304292382012-05-19T23:57:19.701+01:002012-05-19T23:57:19.701+01:00JENNY That would be fascinating for sure.

Having regrets is normal as long as we don't wallow in them at the expense of the here and now and what's going to happen tomorrow.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-46075608582116979342012-05-19T20:28:32.788+01:002012-05-19T20:28:32.788+01:00Cute hairstyle, YP!!

The further we travel through life, the more 'might have beens' there are but, had you continued on that road, maybe you wouldn't have married Shirley and had your lovely son and daughter.
