This Robin Williams thread will brighten up your day 🧵

1. His improvised scene in Good Will Hunting made the cameraman laugh so hard the camera started shaking. Matt Damon's reaction is authentic.

So very true

Have you ever thought about this?

In 100 years like in 2123 we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.

Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.

Our descendants will hardly or hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. How many of us know our grandfather's father?

After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf, and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. We won't even be memories.

If we paused one day to analyse these questions, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all was.

If we could only think about this, surely our approaches, our thoughts would change, we would be different people.

Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. I'd change all this to live and enjoy the walks I've never taken, these hugs I didn't give, these kisses for our children and our loved ones, these jokes we didn't have time for. Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.

And some of us waste it day after day with greed, selfishness and intolerance.

Every minute of life is priceless and will never be repeated, so take time to enjoy, be grateful for, and celebrate your existence.

@smw_rn I cannot begin to understand your suffering/pain - you and yours are in my thoughts & prayers 💕

@PoliticsJOE_UK How long can a person deny participation with written and photographic evidence- ridiculous! We need politicians with moral fibre - exit stage left Borris 😂

[Janet Matthewson @BarnetJanet]

@SholaMos1 @BrokenBarnet This is absolutely disgusting & obviously very worrying for recipients-I can’t help feeling that the rhetoric of some politicians feeds this hate and it needs to stop!!! Not sure what we do apart from standing together against hate!!!
