Details make a difference

Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another. 
Ernest Hemingway

  2. Love the Hemingway quote. I think the same thing would apply to all life however, because we are only what we are because of our parents, which is why I’m not a cat.

  4. ‘hahaha’ – if we all end up the same way – so we only talk about the very last moment… 🙂 😉

    1. Yes, my flower is very feminine and proud of that :D. If we end, how will we be able to talk about the very last moment?

      1. Sometimes we comment people like “What a way to go”… ‘hahaha’

        An old saying are “We all arrive crying, surrounded by smiling people – live the way so – you leave smiling surrounded by crying people” – in a way here I meant the last moments are for the people left back and not so much the person who leaving… 🙂

        1. Ahhhhhhhh…. I see :). But is it not possible to come to this world to be received by crying people – still in pain from childbirth or God forbid by a crying father that lost his wife due to the childbirth complications and leave this world leaving a laughing crowd happy to receive their inheritance? I mean, that would be one sorry life, wouldn’t it…. 😀

            1. Yes, which means that that saying about everybody coming crying to be greeted laughing … is not always true…. You know me – I always have to explore all the options 😉 and counter arguments 😀
