Take my hand

Or, simply: noblesse oblige.

Actually, this might be the absolutely most obnoxious possibly response, especially in English. I’ve heard it used unironically in French, and I think I recall hearing it used sardonically in English. Anyone else?

Maybe more blunt: Please stop interrupting my work.

I think that a good rule of thumb is: would you say “male doctor” or “male politician”? If not, is the professional’s gender relevant? Probably not, in which case it sounds pejorative to include it.

Do you think this makes any sense? If not, why not?

I hope that every word of this is true. I loved reading it.

Is that because video games are awesome, or because you haven’t used your creativity to come up with anything else?

I love this answer so much. Thank you for taking the time to share it.

Good answer. Do you call your kids now? Do you travel now?

Ah, ambitions of conquest.

I used to think that. Now I know that regrets are inevitable. And I think they make life interesting. I’d rather have regrets than boredom.

Music makes life awesome.

This sounds really good to me. How did you escape others’ expectations?

I hope you do, too.

I really like your answer.

I don’t know what words might better express what I’m thinking. So I’ll tell a story. I was raised religious, in a demanding Christian sect. There were a lot of expectations and judgement about what it takes to be a good person. Now, I’ve arrived at a point in my life where I reject the religious ideology and the conception of what it means to be a good person. I think that life is due to chance, that life is brief and temporary and that meaning is created only in my mind. I’m married and have kids. That gave me a lot of meaning, but my wife and I have drifted apart and my kids are mostly grown and are mostly independent. What now? I enjoy sports, and VR gaming and public speaking. I also tried cannabis (legal in my country) and it’s fun. Is there any reason I shouldn’t use it often? Is there something more important I should do with my life? Will I regret later doing things that are fun now?

Maybe none of it matters, but I’m curious what other people think and feel and believe. I’m happy to hear philosophical views, but I’m really curious about how others live.
