| Travis Bickle Vigilantes need love too....  User ID: 26788702 United States11/14/2012 09:12 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So why bother right? That is the question that keeps me up at nights, and drives me through the hard days. I've experienced pain and loss on a scale greater than most, but not greater than all. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24314629 Point of view seems to be important in the scale of humanity and our choices. Yet as wise as I am, Nobody will listen to me, or heed my wisdom. So I mostly choose to be sarcastic about things, or tell people the exact opposite of what I really think is going to happen. In the hopes that somehow, someway, I can get through to them. You know, reverse psychology. Turns out that doesn't work very well either. As far as me, things are going alright, I have no major major problems, I mean sure shit sucks but I'm making it through. I have food to eat, a bed to sleep in, this computer, internet access, entertainment, I work for money, I have thoughts though, thoughts that cannot be understood unless you can reach the same perspective as me. And in the same regard, maybe I cannot understand you without reaching the same perspective as you. So every night as I goto sleep, I wish that I could understand you, perceive your life and your choices, understand why you do what you do. So that I can help you. And then when I do, when I can, understand you, and I try to help you, you disregard my wisdom and you make the choice you were going to make anyway. So where am I going with this? Well this has me questioning free will. Is ANYONE here truly free anymore? Or are you just doing whatever you were already going to do. Do you follow? You need to be adaptable to any situation, be willing to change at a moments notice, go with the flow more, but also decide more on which path to take. There is a balance between free will and predestination and until you can find it you will continue to remain a zombie, just some faceless thing walking around, getting in my path when I goto the store for some groceries. You are going to be a waste of space and air. Please become free like me, please take back your life and your choices. Find the balance in your life, as I find mine. Together we can win. Balance? My friend... No other statement could be more unbalanced. I mean, You live your life through Sarcasm right? the epitome of balance. It seems that even THIS post is sarcastic... You are NOT free.... You are a prisoner of your own expectations, which are not being met. Find balance in yourself. Then look around you to see who is in line with your ways of thinking. Don't try to align the world with your views. You'll go mad. One of these days... A *REAL* rain is gonna come and wash all this scum off the streets. |

And finally, this has not been a sarcastic post, but more of a heartfelt sympathy uttered in public for all to hear. I will however accept any judgment, but I would ask you not to judge and instead maybe learn something. For truth be told, we all have something we need to learn in this life. And maybe if this thread teaches you nothing, it will teach something to another. And perhaps another thread will help you with your journey through life, but not this one. That is also acceptable. |

This is where one finds balance within themselves. For example, I know certain truths. My life experiences have led me to believe these truths. Yet, when I try to share them with just Anybody, most will disregard what I have to say because they are either blind to it, or simply dis-interested. They would rather live in their pearly castle where "these things just don't happen...". Yet, if I share these "truth's" here, (Without sarcasm or similar) they ARE heard and I find others with similar knowledge. Thus we band together to commiserate about what others do not see.... My point in my reply was not that he hadn't tried all that he could try but, that he needs to realize his audience. I am interested in what he has to say, but I haven't heard it yet. I was a little struck that he would assume he would have to use sarcasm here, and I just wanted to point out that he was being a little sarcastic yet, giving advice. One of these days...

Please continue to post here, for now I have heard your words and I do agree with you about life experiences and truth. As I stated in a reply, this is not a sarcastic post, or at least not meant to be one even if you initially interpreted it as one. Sometimes words can fail us and not imply our true selves. Even I must continue to work on that. I acknowledge that and thank you for your criticisms. |

And in the same regard, maybe I cannot understand you without reaching the same perspective as you. So every night as I goto sleep, I wish that I could understand you, perceive your life and your choices, understand why you do what you do. So that I can help you. And then when I do, when I can, understand you, and I try to help you, you disregard my wisdom and you make the choice you were going to make anyway. So where am I going with this? Well this has me questioning free will. Is ANYONE here truly free anymore? Or are you just doing whatever you were already going to do. Do you follow? You need to be adaptable to any situation, be willing to change at a moments notice, go with the flow more, but also decide more on which path to take. There is a balance between free will and predestination and until you can find it you will continue to remain a zombie, just some faceless thing walking around, getting in my path when I goto the store for some groceries. You are going to be a waste of space and air. Please become free like me, please take back your life and your choices. Find the balance in your life, as I find mine. Together we can win. Maybe I'm not bright enough to understand your sarcasm, but it seems to me like it's not that nobody understands you, it's that nobody cares to understand you. are you compassionate? do you enjoy other people's company? though you may be wiser and smarter, can't you find intellectual satisfaction in communicating with the zombies? how do you know what other people in the grocery store are thinking? and how the hell do you know you're free? sounds like you're enslaved by your ego like the rest of us.. I think you put into words what my sentiment was... Exactly what I was feebly trying to say. One of these days... A *REAL* rain is gonna come and wash all this scum off the streets. |

| DoubleHelix User ID: 15806923 United States11/14/2012 09:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have criticized many things said to me in life(haven't we all), even said by my own friends(even here), but i may find truth in what they have said later on down the road. So just because someone criticizes what you say now, does not necessarily mean it fell on def ears. But instead was a seed that grew within, to understand what was conveyed(whether it be day or years later).

| andreidita User ID: 4637432  Romania11/14/2012 10:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | there are people who listen and people who don't. with those who don't there is no point in trying to have a real communication. among the people who listen some are dependent on their own understanding/vocabulary. So if you want to pass some insight to those, first you have to translate their view into yours, and then to communicate the appropriate truths with the words of the other. this a one way communication process and it is not very fulfilling. then the are those who know how to translate the words of another in their own concepts. among this kind of people two-way real communication can be achieved. |
| andreidita User ID: 4637432 Romania11/14/2012 10:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | then again, you yearn for some feeling of deep mental connection. this is not possible with the average joe. better try for exchange heart-felt connection. it is much easier to achieve, and it is not so conceptual dependent. more like storytelling (heart) vs theoretical (mind) another point, is to detach the message from the messenger. A conscious messenger is rare. Many are unconscious messengers of truths that they themselves can not comprehend, but a wise ear understands the message. as long as you will be obsessed by the lack of receptivity of the messenger, you might miss important messages. better hear his story, get him in a telling mood, and you might make some interesting clicks that fit perfectly in your story, and he has no idea of this. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 10783814 United States11/14/2012 10:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A Caracter in the Game Dragon Age Said "People will believe what they want to believe". You can warn people and tell them the truth, but they will not listen even if you can prove it, if it contradicts they're beliefs. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26278327 Many people on this forum can attest that at some point, at some moment of weakness of the ego perhaps, the truth can break through. It's just finding people who are at the point. For me it was a huge loss in my life that left me vulnerable and searching.... Who knows who might be sitting there right now? |

You can't do anything for them really. You can't wake them up anyway most of the time and it's a waste of energy to try. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2065324 telling the truth is the ONLY way to leave this world in victory. nobody ever said you'd be popular for doing it. |

Whether you want to admit that to yourself or not, it's true. And that's your problem...you wonder "Why don't the understand and accept ME??" Question: Why are you desperately trying to seek approval from them? |
