Life is very short

The anonymous poster is back. Its mid October and the anonymous poster decides upon a derisory comment with reference to a post in September about 'Tank Girl' Apparently, I have been 'had over' good and proper since such expression is used by the poster to mean silly cow.

This has caused me to ponder many issues. The first is why has anyone so little to do but trawl through someone's old post and make such comments. One can only assume, as I have, that they simply have no life. More than that people that feel the need to behave in such a way are generally very unhappy people.

Lets put it in perspective. This week I went to the funeral of a colleague who was killed in very horrid car accident. He was 25 years old. In the time I knew him he never nasty, bitter or unkind. The church was full and rightly so.

There is no sense in this. Perhaps the kind sweet people die for no good reason to teach those that have so much to learn. Perhaps the world would be a better place if all the miserable, horrid people were wiped out but then there would be nothing to learn and if that happened, the human race would have no purpose and I am not sure how long it would last.

So now we have to deal with a life in which people with their whole life in front of them, who make all those around them laugh get wiped out in an instant. A life in which people without the balls to lead their own life want to write ridiculous comments on others.

So I did a straw pole with men. I asked them their assumption on a man calling someone tank girl. Interestingly it was all positive. Strong, feisty, scary and sexy. Not sure I have a problem with that at all. Which makes you wonder if the anonymous poster, using the expression tank girl as a means of establishing the connection of silly cow. I think that given the tone, the anonymity and cowardice - that anonymous poster is in fact a little scared and intimidated by women in general.

It speaks volumes that a man would use any term in a derisory way to talk to women, instead of having the ability to communicate in an adult fashion. The other thing I thought poignant was the concept that someone 'had you'. Independent women only give what they want. I for one am happy giving what I want to a man that does not have issues with feeling inadequate.


As for those with clear issue regarding masculinity, adequacy and strength of character. Remember that life is very short. Bitterness and unkindness make for a lonely gathering at the end. If we all aspire to anything it should be that when we die, people miss us.

Sadly, I think anonymous poster need not face this accolade.
