Then I don't understand. You speak of living in misery and mourn. But this would not be brought on without purpose. You acknowledge so much and yet either don't realize that such a statement provokes pity, or you do realize it, in which case you should also know that the only two possible responses to this are to pity it, or to deny it pity. Such statements to call for pity and yet you seem upset at the sound of pity to a statement you made which calls for pity. Please explain this to me?

.....I suck at forgiveness. I find that it opens you up for pain, and therefore, I do not exercise it too freely. I prefer to hold grudges forever. What can I say? I'm bitter.
-
And Bob, you asked something. I answered. The fact of the matter is, I simply repsonded to your query. I'm sorry if it causes you such a problem, and I will gladly withdraw any further participation in this conversation. But as far as I can see, you are trying to make me out as an attention-desperate child where I am simply speaking to you.
-
Alana, I agree with your statement. But forgiving and forgetting, while impractical, is a mis-definition of the true goals of the individual attempting it. We as humans accept that an event will never truly leave our minds and that in future situations, the previous ones will determine our outcomes rendering forgive and forget meaningless. But forgive and forget is very different than moving on even though the two words are flip flopped in normal conversation frequently. To move on is to stop holding onto the grudges of the past. To be able to be mature and not hold a situation against someone to dire ends. That is the true meaning of forgive and forget. To move on.

Then we are both at a miscommunication. If it came across that I was making you out to be anything negative, then I sincerely apologize. I don't want you to leave. But I would like for us to change the topic at hand as to prevent any further miscommunications on this subject.
-
I see. I apologize for my communication issues, and I hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those things that ruin a possible friendship. You seem like a sophisticated person, and it would suck to lose out on being able to converse with you.
As it turns out, however, I can't start conversation for my life. I merely add in when someone says something that I understand. -
I feel that death is an escape from my problems and I don't fear it.... Should I fear death?
-
Death is.. the one thing that actaully frightens me. I have my doubts on the religion that I was raised on, and it makes death a terrifying concept. Fading in to oblivion. I don't want to fade away. It frightens me, yes. But I don't know whether you fear it.
But Zero.. I ask you to fear it. If fear will desuade you from using it as a permanent escape, then by all means, be terrified. I don't think you should die. You seem like a good person. -
Death isn't something to fear. Without death, life would be meaningless. Not living should be the fear. Not experiencing all taht you can with your mortality is something that people dread. Death isn't an escape from anything but opportunity. No matter how tough things may be, if you rob yourself of those problems, you rob yourself of the opportunity to see what happens next. Simple as that.
And no apology needed Sun. It happens to us all. Also, I would like to interject that most of my mental prowess comes from debates and rants. Usually people don't see this side of me. And there are very few people on this site who can call out this side at will. But sometimes it just shows up. :) -
Hm. Well, it's certainly interesting. People do not usually use any sort of sophistication in their threads on here. It makes me happy that you have this side to you.
-
The entire site used to be more sophisticated. Maybe not to this extreme but at least more so than it is. This place has changed a lot over the past few years. And while it saddens me to see a place I used to call home sink so low, I still look at the friends I have made in those better times, and the glimmer of hope like now that I see from time to time, and it gives me peace of mind.
-
Hmmm.
-
I can only imagine. I really should call you Bob-senpai, seeing how much my elder you are. My apologies for this disrespect. And I wish I had been around when it was more serious here. Did you have to fight off this many trolls then?
-
Just call me bob, please. :)
And back then, trolls were non existent. There was a sense of community that doesn't exist anymore. There were only a couple dozen users. People knew each other and if you didn't know somebody, you still welcomed them with open arms. The biggest fights were narrowed down to a couple threads. I remember a time where if you mentioned fighting on GTQ that only a couple people would come to mind. Offbeat was happy conversations and randomness, psychology was actual problems with actual responses. Religion was a place for people to explain themselves in a constructive atmosphere. It was a happy time. But those times are passed. And while I hope that such a place still exists out there today, I personally hope I never find it. It hurts enough watching something so good corrupt once. That's enough for me. -
