"The truth is, every human being on this planet is ridiculous in their own way. So we shouldn't judge, we shouldn't fight, because in the end... in the end, none of it matters. None of the stuff." - Billy Connolly
Firstly I'd recommend any of you who are fans of Outnumbered or David Tennant (like me), to watch the film where this quote comes from: What We Did On Holiday. It's a great funny film with some deeper meanings entwined into it, and is well worth a watch if you have some spare time.
The quote above is taken from a point in the film where the terminally ill Grandad is discussing how pointless it is to be angry at the people you love due to them being who they are. Everybody has their own little quirks or slightly annoying character traits, but we are all 'ridiculous' in our own way; it's what makes us who we are. It also highlights the temporary nature of life and how the petty arguments, the disagreements and the past - it all doesn't matter in the end.
I think this is an important thing to remember, regardless of how cliche it may seem. Too many of us go through life getting caught up in the past or worrying too much about the future. Maybe it's just best to live in the moment and enjoy being with the people we get to experience it with now. After all, 'stuff' only matters whilst we're living, so we might as well just go for it and make every moment count while we can.
