Whether through failure or constructive criticism, ass-kicking reminds us we’re not alone in the world.

Kind of similiar to “Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body—but rather a skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow, what a ride!’ ” —anon.

pop for tncbt comment

Shucks. I'd love to take the credit, but the starter comment isn't mine, (hence it's in italics.) It's copy/pasted from the comment section at the source. I just thought it deserved repeating.

Indeed, tncbt, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Nice clip and something to develop a life philosophy around, cause if it ain't worth workin' for it probably isn't worth it or it isn't appreciated.
@Satchamo.. Great quote..hadn't seen it before and I LOVE it! Even if I don't live it.

I received it in an email about aging, never could find out how old it is or even anything else about it. Assumed its been around a long time.

Sometimes you need that wake-up call of the Universe smacking you upside the head and saying "pay attention!" Ow...

Some people need a good ass-kicking. Some need to give a good ass-kicking. Some people at some time in their life need both.

Great! So then I think I will get my plan for world domination under way.. there are A LOT of people out there who's asses I'd like to kick.
