Nicely written and worth reading.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Lol, found this quote from a random arguement between two Brits (one anti-Brit and one pro-Brit):
Obviously, this is the pro-Brit one

1. Generous financial donations to disaster areas.
2. Both people often apologising when they bump into each other.
3. Beautifull countryside and coastal areas.
4. A sense of cultural heritage in the form of historical buildings, local customs and dialect/slang/turns of phrase, local/country fayres and festivals, including in some cities.
5. A growing slow food movement and increasing availability/awareness of good quality UK sourced food.
6. English country pubs.
7. Resteraunts which serve food from many other countries.
8. A society which is largely accepting of people who are different and which is multicultural.
9. Racism and homophobia being largely socially unacceptable.
