Let's get Philosophical

Very nice thread actually. To me, lots of more important things in life that prevent me from obsessing over this issue.

Please share with us, from what great philosopher, from Plato to Mom and any and all in between, do you draw wisdom from when confronted with a situation where you can't immediately, or maybe ever, get what you want?

Sincerely,

G_d (higher power), grant me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I can not and the wisdom to know the difference.

For some TRF’ers, there is always vintage Rolex.

The intention of the thread is the promotion of positivity, drawing wisdom from great minds and gaining a better perspective on life.

A watch is like a bus, there'll be another one coming along shortly.

I remember that expression from the film Croupier, an interesting examination of human desire and behaviour.

Thanks

I know. The quote is an answer to the naysayers in life who see only obstacles, never opportunities.

I misunderstood, sorry.

Tolkien taught me:

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Superb and profound use of the English language.

Thank you so much for sharing.
