i got nothin to be deffensive about im simply pointing out hoew odd it is that hed reacte so negatively to what ultimatelky ids meant to be a possitive thing.. actuasly caring how another human being is and why ies it a joke? because he says uit is? did u laugh? did you find it funny? ir did he just sat=y its a joke cause he realized what a jerk hes comming off as a joke at least would have some ironic twist a punchline..some comedic element that made it funny if its a joke when he said yje guy on the trains a cult leader then why did he go on to sauy anyone who asked him if they believe in love would be a psycho drug addicts maybe his lil compsarison of me was meant to be a joke not a childish insult? then why wiuld he carry it further and furtgewr when it wasnt found to be funny? its not a joke rerally but an insight into the kinda person he is..someone really afraid to face his own feelingsd.. who when asked would reacfte in anger or fear rather then question himself bout wether he really is ok or not hed throw out insults as a deffensive barrior so noone can ever get past that wall and see whats really going on i think its pretyy odvios if a question like are you happy causes such a strong deffence mechanism to be triggered that..well odviosly not and ya know what dude thats ok lots and lots and lots of peiple arent happy..its no big deal ya dont gotta strike out though this isnt just a dready board its a community too with people that care bout ei=chother even when we dont see eye to eye so its oh]k to talk bout how ya feel ya dont gotta act allmacho and go on the attack its ok to admit wat is reaklly going on.. u come off as agressive alot now i doubt your the type to open up and explain why ya are the way ya are, ..but maybe if u did let out just alittle detail of your life your past and what brought ya to where ya are today you wiuldnt fear such simple questionds ya really got nothin to fear from noone here noones gonna try to crack open your brain or force ya to adnmit wether your happy or not but damn dude..its pretty safe here to just be yourself talk abiut anything thats going on with ya including wether your happy or not its not a scary question maybe your scared of the answer? but idf so, theres ways to change the answer (without lying to yourself or others) and if the answers no well thats ok ..most ppl atent all that happy these dasys it dont matter its just what ya gotta deal with a d really, unless theres a chemical reason..or severe tradgedy its not that hard to be happy if u try and even with severe tradgedy its niot so hard to move on ..the sadness is only temporary and u can choose to not dwekl there. its not an easy lesson to learn tho i guess id gonere through many tradgedies, and when younger got stuck in them not knowing how to overcome .. i guess though its when u beat the worse tradgedies and still find ways to be happy that u truly gain strength to overcome. so whatever ya are fearring when that questions asked dont worry things could always be much worse.. and at the same time they can be better, its all in how u look at it keep a possitive perspective freind and ya wont havge to trow ariund the negative comments. for instanfce if u look at the possitive reasons someione will ask ya if your happy instead of jumping right to the negative you will get a more possitive result from engaging em in conversation i guess you and i have vetuydifferent life experiences though..for me a question like are you happy is not such an unusual question. ive been asked simulasr things many times and probly asked others myself in fact i think y best freind and i both asked eachother tghe day we met (after she said she wanted to play with my dreads) theres nothing wrong with wanting peeople u meet onthe street to be happy snd if u ask random ppl u just might be surprised what u find i think u may find the aversge homeless personmight be happier thebn the average wealthy person and the ppl u think should be the most satidsfied might be the ones always wanting more. its really fascini\ating if ya ever open up anbd care for the answer i know some of the most bliss filled peropke there are..that just glow from pure joy..but eveb them when u ask thast question may surprise you with thye answer there are no absolutes no joy without sorrow one cannot exist withiout the other. so the question..are you happy really is the only question worth asking i think id be miserable if i never was asked if im happy without questuoning it ..it would ber so damn easy rto asssume ya shouldnht be look st the fucking workld..its a n=mess ..ya shouldnt be happy unless ya found a way to be despite the mess right? si=o unless u answer the question yes the assumption would always be no ya gotta be asked to rwalize ya are lil story many years ago me and a freind decided to fast for world peace for 10 days.. the day we started, the great peace march came thriugh town and we were trying to decide wether to march or fastthen decided to do both. 6 days into the fast babba ram dass came up to me and asked me if i wanted some french fries, i politely said no, because im fasting. he said then dont lie to me, you do want the fries but choose not to have what yiou desire. i agreed that he was probably right, he offered again i sniffed emand agreed they did smell amazing but refused again i ran into him again in cali few yeards ago and told him the story of how wed first met he asked me then, which wiould have made you happier, the fries, or world peace (this was after his stroke) the question so simple the answer so odvios yet for a jomment i sat there thinking st the time i was starving, and world peace never happened so..which really would have made me happeier? he then smiled and said.. isnt it odvios, its the one you chose. maybe im just tired and theres no point to that,...ool all im sayijn is if u dont face the question i neverr know the ansswwer ui just go on saying fine fine fine all the time even when its odvios ya arent.. so thank god for crazy drug addict psycho cult leader freaks that actualy make u think (wait was that a punchline? maybe this all was a joke after all)
wow that was long and strange i should sleep so if anyone wants to ask.. are you tired..the answer isd ..yes..yes i am..very much so (thnx for arediculoudsly funny night though..lol i am truly happy i got to examine the whiole question of why its so scary to face that question..are you happy) (the real joke is that the answer is meanningless..if yiu say yes..your only hsppy cause u think your happy.. if u say no, your only sad cause u think your sad, so changing the answer changes the condition.. sayinhg your happy (and believing it) makes u happy while saiying your sad and cfonmvincing yourself ya are makesu sad.. its never truly the condition of your life, but your attitude towards that condituion)
I agree brayingdonkey. SE, it might be a different story at one of your gatherings, but otherwise, welcome to the real world.
i found it funny, and i do sometimes think that some of us are to idealistic and dont live in the real world at times
Phil I was thinking the same thing. I have heard this repeatedly on here "fuck money, fuck jobs, fuck your bf,fuck the government, fuck this fuck that" must be so nice

Lol fun top! Omg the clothes shops round here are a total flashback to being dragged around the shops by my mum when I was about 7! It's a bit weird actually
ok, I have to get this out because I am soo sick of coming onto these forums and finding pages of ridiculous arguments going on and whos always in the middle of them? SE!! I'm finding myself almost always siding with whoever your fighting w too. Brayingdonkey said a couple of words as a JOKE and you go on this insane rant. What are you trying to prove SE? I've seen you contradict yourself over and over in these forums. I may be alone in my feelings, but I doubt it.
Yeh I sorta get what you mean...also about ending up siding with the "opposition", almost regardless of who's actually right. I dunno. Blaaaah. Anyways, I've been browsing tattoo ideas for several hours now and my head is going to pop!
