The Greatest Oxymoron: A wife
Marc says
@Donny:
Not true if she’s also your best friend. There comes a time when you realize that looking elsewhere is just a waste of time. 😉
Donny says
Nah, you took that wrong. Its the greatest oxymoron cause you can hate them and love them at the same time. I guess thats not really a Big Shrimp, but I didn’t know what else to call it. Greatest Contradiction?
Marc says
@Donny:
Ahh… I got ya. Agreed. Significant others can linger on the fine line of many fronts.
Henry says
All good. I am having difficulty with #31 though. I would have thought that the greatest love would definitely need to go beyond oneself.
Hardik Pokhrel says
In fact, Marc the greatest beauty is simplicity and the greatest feeling is satisfaction, really, a boy of 15 which i am, has also felt it. It is really “the” greatest feeling. The other things simply are magnificent, it has certainly enhanced my philosophy on life.
Thanks!

i beg to differ on the greatest mistake. i think its not quitting, but GIVING UP. many people quit, and i think its about reaching a threshold of impatience or self-doubt that is all but human to feel. i always believed that its how you pick yourself up after quitting is what matters most. just my two cents.
