Similar thing happened to me 25 years ago.

Stranger: we need money for gas.

My dad and I: we will fill your tank.

The car took less than a gallon.

Stranger: The trunk must be too full.

Stranger: we need money for food.

My dad: we will take you to McDonalds.

They drove away, hungry, I presume?

I like your perspectives on life and parenting.Men young and old need to see an hear the true virtues of manhood, stronger families and communities can be positively influenced thru effective fathering. I’m Dave with Authenticdads.com, maybe we can link our resources and help some families.

It’s life giving indeed and yet somehow it always finds a way to replenish itself. I’ve also heard of it being served as food, which literally involves sucking the marrow out of the bone of a cooked dead animal. They say it’s like eating meat butter.

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary, I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”

Henry David Thoreau
Walden, Chapter 2, “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For”

I have wondered about the origin of the phrase “sucking the marrow out of life”. It sounds cool, but if the marrow is gone, isn’t your ability to live gone with it? Maybe it is a more graphic version of “going till you drop” and “dead tired”.
