I’m far from perfect but I have always been there whether it be for more business, friends, causes and/or family. There are times I risked life and limb to make sure that I was the “there” to be found even when many others co-warded away. Whether it be hurricanes, blizzards, injuries or avoidance of fun activities I make sure that I keep my commitments 1st which is why the initial view of the movie “A Futile and Stupid Gesture” was so disturbing to me.
Douglas Kenney one of the major founders of National Lampoon lived the opposite life with no strong commitment to his marriage vows, business (left for 6 months) or even his own well being (drug feign) but still was considered successful in society’s terms. He traded it all in for just having “fun” at truly everyone’s cost even his own as he passed away before the laughter had a chance to stop. To be honest initially I was envious of his lifestyle but as I looked deeper I realized that fun can be used to mask more serious issues which if not dealt with can end in tragic consequences. Life maybe short but do we have to end before the true party has begun.
