    Killing Me Softly

    After living in Australia and then moving to Thailand, one gets an
    overall picture of the world as though your sitting in a grandstand on
    the 50 meter line.
    Now that i'm quickly approaching 60, i've learnt a couple of things
    about life, firstly i know if there is a will , I want to be in it.and
    also the last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on my list.
    . Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright
    until you hear them speak,and If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
    We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public,mostly.
    War does not determine who is right - but who is left and they begin
    the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to tell you why it
    isn't.
    To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is
    research.
    Buses stop in bus stations. Trains stop in train stations. On my desk
    was a work station, where if i stopped, a lot of people got nowhere.
    I also thought I wanted a career. Turns out I just wanted money.
    In filling out an application, where it says, 'In case of emergency,
    notify:' I now put 'DOCTOR.'And also I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. and women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still be called sexy.
    Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a
    successful man is usually another woman.
    and a clear conscience is the sign of a fucked memory.
    You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to
    skydive twice.
    Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live
    with and as well there's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
    I used to be indecisive but now I'm not so sure,and you're never too
    old to learn something stupid.
    To be sure of hitting a target, shoot first and call whatever you
    hit, the target.Nostalgia isn't what it used to be but change is inevitable, except
    from a vending machine. and i was always was taught i'm supposed to
    respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder for me to find
    one now.So what is it i've really learnt? I've learnt that life is all
    for fuckall in the end and this life is no dress rehearsal for another
    one.What is life i hear you ask, well in my opinion it's a fantastic
    way of killing time. (KILLING ME SOFTLY)

    Appears to be a collection of searchable quotes jumbled together into a faux philosophical musing.

    So is that plagiarism or research?

    What does one call 'nicking emails someone else wrote and passing it off as your own'?

    Firstly, just because the Steven Wright character (where this has been cut and pasted from without bothering to correct the syntax) labels his website "The wit of Steven Wright", it does not necessarily conclude that the majority of his pejorative sentiments are indeed witty. Or original.

    Secondly, a quote that might actually be the solution for our maudlin OP

    "If at first you don't succeed, give up". Homer J Simpson.

    Or is it
    "if at first you don't succeed perhaps skydiving's not for you"

    I liked

    there's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
