--- Quote from: Akima on 30 Aug 2011, 17:11 ---Life is suffering.
--- End quote ---
Life is to a large extent what we make of it. Remember that obnoxious preachy slogan from driver's ed, "You're not in traffic, you are traffic"? Our actions add to and subtract from the total of the world's suffering. Angus spared Marigold a huge chunk of suffering by not taking advantage of her.
People who didn't take suffering as inevitable have, among other things, eradicated smallpox, eliminating three million agonized deaths every year.

Life is suffering due to the impermanence of life. Buddhist philosophy, ya dig.

*waves chassis in the air desperately* Oh, forget it, I'm going to go shoot some people... digital people, who are firing back at and killing me.
Thought I should clarify.

--- Quote from: questionablecontentfan on 30 Aug 2011, 21:09 ---Honestly, if I could just share my opinion without receiving lectures that could pass for novellas...everything would be cool. I feel how I feel. Other people feel how they feel. I respect other people's opinions, just wish I could get the same in return.
--- End quote ---
Actually, you've shown very little respect for the opinions of others. You've been quite dismissive. Others might respect your opinions more if you could back them up, but you don't. And I'm talking about opinions, not feelings, there's a difference.
--- Quote ---Anyway, this conversation is getting boring. I'm sick of being scolded. I am allowed to feel how I feel. Jeez.
--- End quote ---
Yes, it is getting boring. And my apologies for sounding like I was scolding you. I do get a bit riled when I see someone making such basic mistakes, though. You certainly are entitled to your feelings. Just quit trying to support them with nonexistant facts, or by ignoring the ones that do exist, and I think everyone will gladly stop tying to point out that you got the facts wrong.

--- Quote from: themacnut on 30 Aug 2011, 21:12 --- right along with satisfaction and joy.
--- End quote ---
Would you believe...some people never get to experience that part.
--- End quote ---
No. As someone who tried suicide as a teenager, I know how dark it gets. You knew joy at one point, as a child, and you will again. But I can't believe you never knew any.
Of course, I'm assuming you're talking about yourself again... maybe it's a theoretical "some people"?
Oh, and please, don't tell me I'm wrong again. There isn't a child (even in poverty and starvation) that hasn't experianced some aspect of joy. It's part of being a child, ask anyone who's studied human development.

Whoops, sorry. Meant to hit the guy standing next to you. Have a chocolate bunny.

Wait a sec-wouldn't it technically be easier for Pintsize to look up her skirt now that Momo's human-sized?
Also: digging the animation. Wasn't expecting THAT when I logged in. :-D
