    Something I read and thought could turn into an interesting discussion. Anyways, here goes:

    1. Feelings are both a curse and a blessing.

    2. Earth was the aftermath of a giant universal fart.

    3. I don't know why people say they have so much to live for because in reality we live for taxes, work, commitment, false accusations, and death - I really don't see what is so great about those.

    4. You learn to love, you gain the fear of rejection. You learn to trust, people take advantage of you. You learn to give, people take more and more.

    When you learn to accept these as facts (not appreciate) you will realize that these statements are in fact true.
    Do you agree with any of these? Why?

    I agree with 1, 2, and to some extent 4.

    1 is obvious.
    2 is controversial but for those who believe in the Big Bang, you could consider it a huge fart. Not literally.
    4 is a bit complex. Everybody's experience with these things will be different. Some are naturally good at getting everything they want. Some don't need to trust because they are feared. Most don't worry about giving because they can control themselves and not go crazy about giving. Even the craziest philanthropists don't give away everything.

    As for 3, this sounds like it was written by someone who failed to appreciate the greater things in life - cars, money, and women (yes, I called you all things. What are you going to do about that? :p). How could you forget?

    And the last part is the funniest. It basically says "when you accept these as facts, they are facts". Haha.
     
    1. Feelings are both a curse and a blessing.

    People should expect to see the good, the bad and the ugly in life... And not being exposed to that is in itself pretty sad. To reject one is essentially to reject the other.

    2. Earth was the aftermath of a giant universal fart.

    Maybe... maybe not... Will it determine how you live your life without knowing the answer?

    3. I don't know why people say they have so much to live for because in reality we live for taxes, work, commitment, false accusations, and death - I really don't see what is so great about those.

    People also live for love, others and nature. Not to mention there are those who live to whatever extent they want, even if it is illegal. Such as a murderer killing someone.

    4. You learn to love, you gain the fear of rejection. You learn to trust, people take advantage of you. You learn to give, people take more and more.

    Again this is like the first one, people will always be interminable, but it doesn't mean someone should loose faith in humanity.

    When you learn to accept these as facts (not appreciate) you will realize that these statements are in fact true.

    So while I don't find them to be true, I do appreciate them... To not appreciate them is to not be human...

    Its like a human not accepting that death occurs...
     
    1. There's no such thing as perfection. Everything has a dark and light side, including feelings.

    2. Depends on what you believe. Fact or not, it's in the mind of the beholder

    3. I have thoughts like this one before, and I really still don't understand it as well. Maybe lots of people have one eye? Or that they can live with both the bad and good? I don't know, since I am the kind of person who does not mind giving up everything good to get rid of everything bad so I end up with the neutrals/nothing.

    4. From a selfish person, it is true. TBH, some selfless people realised that too, but choose to keep loving, giving and trusting anyway.

    Humans are not flawless, and never will be, which is IMO the fact we all should accept, actually.
     
    1. Soooooo true

    2. Whatever, I've heard enough 'universe creation' theroies for one life-time, thank you.

    3. There's love, success, happiness, and sex, who can say they don't want to live when there is sex?

    4. True as well.
     
    I my (pessimistic) opinion:
    1) Agree
    2) Agree
    3) Agree
    4) Agree
    Although that last sentence does seem to say once you accept these as facts, you will realize the are facts. :\
     
    Yes i do agree with all except for number three because if you are focusing on all those things then you aren't enjoying your life.
     
    1. Feelings are both a curse and a blessing.

    Yes. You could experience wonderful things. Without feelings, life would be bland. No one would be able to express themselves. On the other side, you also experience horrible feelings. These feelings can sometimes lead to horrible things.

    2. Earth was the aftermath of a giant universal fart.

    No.

    3. I don't know why people say they have so much to live for because in reality we live for taxes, work, commitment, false accusations, and death - I really don't see what is so great about those.

    It depends how we look at life. Some people enjoy it, they enjoy their friends.

    4. You learn to love, you gain the fear of rejection. You learn to trust, people take advantage of you. You learn to give, people take more and more.

    Same as 3. You choose to be afraid. You choose to let people take advantage of you. You choose to let people take more and more.

    Life is all about choices, and those choices decide how life is for you.

     
    Well, as I said on the other forum (it's weird to see this again haha) #3 is fairly stupid, and the rest are almost too vague and muddled to be analyzed on any serious philosophical level, much less confirmed as "true".

    anyway I'm pretty sure they're from like a chain email or something
     
    1. Feelings are both a curse and a blessing.

    Yes. Most definitely. With everything good in life, there's something bad. And vice versa. It's just a matter of accepting these feelings.

    2. Earth was the aftermath of a giant universal fart.

    Uh..I dunno about this one. Yes and no, I suppose. If so, then it was a big fart. I guess to really enjoy life, you have to look at the smallest things and appeciate them.

    3. I don't know why people say they have so much to live for because in reality we live for taxes, work, commitment, false accusations, and death - I really don't see what is so great about those.

    Yes and no, again. It depends on what you appreciate as a person. Some people enjoy their work and their commitments. There's a lot of finer things in life that you just need to notice. But it's true that there's a lot of crap, too.

    4. You learn to love, you gain the fear of rejection. You learn to trust, people take advantage of you. You learn to give, people take more and more.

    I agree with this the most out of them all. Whilst it's not always true, it happens a lot. And I mean a lot. It's human nature, I suppose.
     
    1. Feelings are both a curse and a blessing.

    Yes, yes, yes. HELL YES. But there's nothing wrong with that, is there now?

    2. Earth was the aftermath of a giant universal fart.

    Well, if you believe the Big Bang theory, then yes, it was a universal fart. It's not that bad though, because it also means everything else was also the aftermath of said fart.

    3. I don't know why people say they have so much to live for because in reality we live for taxes, work, commitment, false accusations, and death - I really don't see what is so great about those.

    No, just no. If all you live for is that, then there's something wrong with your life. This one isn't even true.

    4. You learn to love, you gain the fear of rejection. You learn to trust, people take advantage of you. You learn to give, people take more and more.

    I agree with this. It's true, no matter how much you disagree with it. It's human nature, I guess. Our free will and our stupidity. =|
