Yes, this is a 'rip off' of another thread because conflict and dissension is, 'banned'.
Thus I will not add another ounce of 'syrup', fluff the feathers, get in the face or step on any toes there, but...
Life is conflict. Friends are conflict. Love is conflict.
Life hurts, as do friends and lovers.
There is an entire generation and more, that I am trying my best not to apply a pejorative to, that is responsible for such things as awarding a trophy to every kid on a sports team so as not to embarrass the worst performers.
They are also responsible for denying that there are actually more attractive humans among the herd and that mankind has always worshiped beauty and symmetry as the ideal.
And now we have overweight, unattractive representatives in sort of an 'affirmative action' quota system in which the best are penalized and the not so best rewarded.
We went through an era where females declined to don 'make-up' and attractive clothing in favor of zits and overalls, so as not to be viewed as 'sexual objects'.
Such a deal.
Friendships are competition, note the coterie in every social gathering from grade school forward that selects from among the best and brightest, the hunks and the cheerleaders, the attractive intelligent ones. Note also the jealousy of the second and third tier of wannabees that act out with rebellious hair and clothing, gag me with a 'goth'. If not that, then the drug culture to assert equality.
'Partnerships', based on anything less than competitive excellence, evolve from, 'no one likes us, so we will like each other!'
And, ah, Love, that human mystery of attraction and devotion, is relegated to the dusty annals of poetry and the foolishness of films and 'real' relationships are touted as contractual agreements not to hurt each other.
What a sad and ugly chapter to human evolution.
You can ignore this thread, which will not surprise me, but if you do offer comment, feel free to express the entire spectrum of human thought and emotion and see if you can rise above the political correctness of 'we will all agree to control our emotions as they may be hurtful to others...' syndrome that seems to affect and effect not just the political and philosophical opinions of most, but even the most personal and intimate relationships humans are capable of.
In other, more simplr terms, it is human to love and hate; human to have biases and prejudices and even personal choices that define attractiveness and beauty for any old irrational, totally irresponsible reason one chooses.
As long term denizens of this forum know precisely from whence I speak, to the relative 'newbies' here, I state it openly.
I conclude that a half century of militant feminism, the 'female' pov, has so changed, challenged and threatened the social fabric with the mundane and mucky 'equality' thesis, of total egalitarianism, equality in all things, that the very concepts of friendship, partnership and love have been thrown asunder to the extent that even innate gender identity is in question.
Internet associations, forums such as this one, often deteriorate into a 'social networking' gimmick, that females are so fond of, be it the telephone, cell phone, or hanging over the backyard fence gossiping the day away with inanities.
Of course, the indecisive, wimpy males, sniffing along behind, will do and say anything to get close to mother earth, the female, who really wants something entirely different.
This is not necessarily a combative offering, not even an objection to the structured intent of the thread that inspired this, rather an attempt to present an opposing opinion to the prevailing attitude engendered by subjective, relativistic ethics and morality that so permeates the thinking here.
Oh, and before the naybirds take flight, I do love women and everything feminine in this world of opposites.
