This is an important point.



Yeah but I'm talking about men who don't own the Playboy mansion.

I don't own the Playboy mansion. And I've been down that road.

In fact, I'm on it right now.

So those have use for it are here for a shorter time than those who do not?

This isn't making things look any better.

And I'm sure that you'll pull through.

I didn't say that. At all.

What I said was Forumless made an important point: that the understanding of one's mortality can make life more precious to that person and that when the finality of death is close, and a person knows it (or at least senses it), that person often gains a new appreciation for life that makes your constant downplaying of it and constant announcement that life is meaningless and something to be cast off like a piece of trash as long as you have a way to do it quickly and painlessly something of a slap in the face.

I don't know what you're basing that on, but considering your opinion of life itself, it doesn't give me much comfort.

Remember that movie "House" where that Vietnam soldier had to leave his injured buddy alone to be captured and tortured to death by the enemy?

Was it an insult and slap in the face to anyone that injured soldier wished to be dead?

I may not be an injured solider but at this point I have no ambition, reason or desire to become anything more than I am right now and right now I'm pretty friggin' useless.

Belief that you will, mostly your own.

Erm....don't use me as example. I'm a bit of an anomaly - Reality does not oblige my desires and dreams otherwise I wouldn't be here to type this right now.

That soldier had no way out of his predicament. YOU DO, you're just too damned stubborn.

The soldier has the choice of dying or continuing to be physically tortured into agony. If you gave the soldier a choice to die or to be set free and returned home, which do you believe he would have picked? No, his attitude isn't a slap in the face. YOURS would be to HIM though.

But you aren't though. You're always talking about how different you are, but you really aren't any more different that anyone else. You think reality obliges my desires and dreams all the time? You really think I like being in the predicament I'm in?

I'd trade everything I own for peace of mind that isn't coming.

You remember that, Electric, and remember it well.

You'll be ok, Eagle. You'll pull through.

I don't mean that in a patronizing manner.

I mean I believe just like Douglas Adams: Arthur Dent learned how to fly by completely forgetting that he was falling.

No ... you are trying to say that rational people DO NOT believe in God. Sorry I just don't agree.

At least this is what I think you meant...since you won't tell me what YOU THINK RATIONAL MEANS ... it means I have to guess.
