Errm.... one of us might, of course, beg to differ on that one mate! 😛😛 😏

Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Written upon the occasion of his father's approaching death. Thanks, Andy. Always appreciated its restraint and power. "Christmas in Wales" too.

Wild animals in any jungle make similar boasts. Most men lack the concentration, patience and forgiveness to ever become great lovers.

I like the inclusion of 'most men'. I, for one, believe strongly in 'practice makes perfect' .... 😉

With or without a partner?

All about thought, Mike. Wouldn't you agree that little of value is ever accomplished without concentration, discipline and focused thought?

I believe discipline is the most important operative. If an act is well disciplined it can achieve great value and great success with neither focus nor concentration, as disciplined acts can run on autopilot in some cases. However, the inclusion of concentation - which is effectively focus - can only add to strengthen the outcome. 😉

Yeah but if you think about Baseball don't you last longer?

Congratulations. You've become the owner of the most uncomfortable post in the illustrious history of uncomfortable posts on RHP that did not involve the description of a felony.

There you go again... confusing a gentle, non-controverial, non-confrontational civilized conversational gambit with your own shallow

definition of weakness and juvenile/macho knee jerk behavior. Source of relaxed manly strength is from between two ears, not legs.

Key difference between the weak and the strong is simply that the weak attack personalities while the strong deal constructively with issues.

Guess it must always be a bummer to lose one's sense of timing, get antsy or premature. Baseball reveries help prolong a lost chess game?

No, my experience here has been that the weak post impossibly sugary things thinking that everyone will like them, while the people with half a sense of humor use the sugar-sweet musings for their only possible positive use: ridicule.
