Unfortunately, we are all mortal. As a person with a certain romantic streak, I imagine someday lying in a large white-covered bed, surrounded by my loved ones, in the certainty that the end is approaching. I then review my life in my mind's eye and am satisfied. It will have been a good life. At least that's my romantic idea. But what is a good life? In particular: What is a good life for a boylover? Wife, children, house, car, boat, ... you know the game. It doesn't have to be as superficial as in the old German advertising, which probably no one here knows. I tried to create a list of experiences and situations that make a good life for me. I have already been able to put some of them into the treasure chest of personal experience, others are within reach - and some may remain unreachable. - To live through times of need and times of abundance - Honest, deep and stable friendship with another person - Moments of professional success - A work of art, a book or similar thing that leaves you with emotions stirred up in confused tumult - Moments of sky-high joy - Times of deep (but not bitter) grief - The joy of accompanying a child a while through its upbringing - To be loved (in an erotic way, but in general) - To learn a craft or mental ability that you are really proud of - To build, write or paint something that is permanent and meaningful beyond my own death - To have someone who is grateful to me, who has something to thank me for - To have someone to whom I am grateful and to whom I owe something - A special friendly relationship with a boy and subsequent lasting friendship - To be admired by a boy - To be wanted by a boy - To love a boy I would be interested if your list would look similar. Philippo PS. I left out sexual aspects. The topic is of course important. But it is so overshadowed by the social situation in our world today that I am still too insecure to know what I really want. Rather, to estimate what I might think about it at the end of my life. PPS: I have also posted this in a similar form in the German "Jungsforum". |
