Friday hypothetical question

[Andy Mac]

I re-read Brave New World recently and it got me to a?thinkin?.

 

If you had the choice (which obviously didn?t happen in Aldous Huxley?s book) of being pre-conditioned to live the life you are living now OR the life George Best had. The footie skills, the adulation, the booze, sex etc , etc. Which one would you choose?

 

For me, I?d choose the one I?m living now. The reasons: The lifestyle Georgie boy had was obviously a tortured one, especially having to cope with his addictions and constantly living a life that dealt with past glories.

 

But the real clincher for me would be having to live with the negative impact I would have on those around me. Seeing his sister; his dad; ex wife and son; etc. I don?t think I could live with seeing the pity in other people?s eyes when they looked at me as they did with George Best.

 

What would you choose? and why?

I'd have Best's. Damn sight more fun than working for a living.

 

If there's no free will though, it barely matters. It's all s***.

Cheer up you miserable get. It's Friday.

but can you adapt the life george had...ie give up the drink and continue the footy properly etc....can we learn from his mistakes and change accordingly ordo we have to live his life exactly.

 

 

anyway that doesnt really matter.....my own life obviously....anythings better than being a Prod.

Pre-conditioning means you inherit all the personality traits too. So live his life exactly as he did !

My life, I am sure if I wanted to turn myself into a plonky and go out shagging every night I am sure I could. Plus I couldnt be a*** with all the hangers on he had following him round.

If you were George you'd have been out on the lash ergo you'd be asleep now
