ok this is imitated from the "caption contest thread" and from the "argumentative git thread"... One gives an aphorism (5 words minimum please!) following contibution gives another aphorism but a related one (i mean on the same topic)... quoting are authorised
after 48 hrs a winner is picked up... chosen by the former winner... and choses a new topic

i begin...

life is hard but it is worth living
