10 Things I’ll Never Do...
1)
I’ll never stop playing guitar. If I live to be 110 years old, I’ll still be clutching a guitar in my hands.
2) I’ll never stop loving The Beatles.
3) I’ll never stop being nice to people even if I’m in a bad mood or feeling under the weather.
4) I’ll never stop loving animals.
5) I’ll never forgive those who put African-Americans in chains & enslaved them.
6) I’ll never accept defeat or failure.
7) I’ll never stop searching for God & the meaning of life.
8) I’ll never generalize people because of their race, religion or political views.
9) I’ll never stop collecting vintage toys, musical instruments & anything that I feel is worth preserving.
10) I’ll never stop believing that one day humanity will ‘get it together’ and live in harmony.
*11) I’ll never forget that scene from ‘Spinal Tap’ where the guitar amps’ volume knob goes to ‘11'

Hi Ed,

I like your list, especially #3, #4, #5, #8 and, #10! On point #3, I agree completely. The rule "everything you want people to do to you, you do to them" fits in this doesn't it? I think what defines our value as human beings is how we treat each other. If I treat others with respect, it does not necessarily guarantee that I will be treated with respect too, but at least I have the right to expect that. The way I see it, if I treat other people like shit, the only thing I deserve is similar treatment.

Thanks for your comments Maria!

"What defines our value as human beings is how we treat each other."

Very well said!

Through the years I've learned not to take people as seriously. Sometimes people are just having a bad day, etc...

What's important is that we (as individuals) try to be the best we can be.

What a great set of 'nevers' Ed! Sorry I haven't been over before now my friend, but things have been a bit sad recently in Val world as I lost my dad last weekend. It was a blessed release for him, though, so that is the bright side...just sad for the rest of us.

Anyway, not to put a gloomy note on the time of year, I just wanted to wish you a very happy Christmas and new year, and thanks for taking part in the never nevers!
