Nothing so crass, but lot's more fun.
Think more two and a half men.

Then don't listen. I have dared to put my own perspective in words. By putting it in words, I do exactly what you say - It's the general principle of Reductio ad Absurdum. To verbalise concepts of our purpose in the universe is immediately invoking a false premise, and as soon as we invoke a false premise, all propositions become possible.  When we think that have successfully defined something in words, it has already slipped out of our reach. It has crawled away while we were defining it and it's already somewhere totally different, laughing at our efforts to define it.  

All I'm saying is that we all have a tiny fraction of the questions, regardless of the fact that some people claim to have a conduit to all the answers through their personal window on life.

Maybe we'll get closer to the truth if we all accept that when it comes to life, we all have useful and possibly unique perspectives.

I regard religions and philosophies as collected wisdom through the ages. Each one has a different perspective, or a different window on the universe.

If we are so arrogant as to think that our own unique perspective can be the only one that's right then we stand to lose as a result.

My sacred cows are knowledge and humility. What are yours?

Growing old is THE worst thing that can happen to you.
Except for the alternative.

And I really am not that old, it is just a bit of a joke, if we compared record collections we would find little to differentiate, and then, only on taste, not era.

The 2&1/2 men thing was just that my expected demise was from hedonistic overindulgence, a la charlie, not from violent retribution from cuckolded spouses, as helian said.

What's a record?

Oic...

I thought he was into collecting little red buttons  

The first record I ever bought was "Please Please Me", what about you?

Well as it was released 36 years after the beatles album, I would say the probability of you being old, is very, very, slim.

I just played it on daily motion, as I could not remember it(the dolphins cry), I must have repressed my distaste for it from my memory, or perhaps it is just dementia marching on, but those guys suck, utter soft c0ck grunge wannabes. But I was lucky to have acts like the beatles and stones to be my preteen idols, not many classic bands around in the top 40 stuff in the last 25 years.
