As mature adults they should be conversations we have without feeling that they are taboo or they are too uncomfortable to have, be them about your physical or mental health being proactive is the first step to realizing good health.
The alternative conversations are much tougher to have.
As I've gotten older I've obviously settled down considerably and try to look at things from other people's perspectives, I used to be very confrontational, never held back when voicing my opinion and basically didn't care what I said nor to who I said it to.
Once my marriage broke down and my dad passed not long after I became very introverted as I began a new journey in life, it was just my two youngest and me living a fair distance from our usual surroundings and friends. It developed me as a person.
It's amazing how we can look around in a shopping centre and see hundreds of people going about their business, everyone has their own story, their own reason for being there and every mind is ticking over differently to everyone else's, this gets multiplied billions of times and no one knows what's going on in the next persons mind or their lives.
It's touching to read the posts from Psuedo and Booney, you just never know what's going on behind the scenes, in life we need to make the little effort like to smile at others when you make eye contact, hold that door open even if it means you have to stand there for an extra few seconds, let that car in front of you even though you got to that point before them.
It costs nothing to be a better human being than you were yesterday.
Thanks for sharing fella's, as blokes we tend to take things for granted and spend more time hanging shit on each other for a laugh.
