Isolated Blurt Thread

Ever critically look at your life when nothing specific is "wrong" and think - this is SO not what I want?


Questions (and not just for you Vana but generally for all of us):

1.Is the thing one wants something that exists in reality in human life for real humans, ever? That is, is it "existentially" possible even?

2. Whether the answer to the above is yes or no, could the problem be that somehow one has come to want the wrong things?

3. Is one unhappy because at some level or in some "dimension" the act of wanting itself, or of wanting particular things, intrinsically makes it more difficult or impossible to be happy with one has, could have, or which is at least "existantially" possible to have?

4. Can one control the things one wants? That is, can one "step back" from the question "what do I want?" and ask "what should I want?" (or what do I value) and then choose to want/value a different thing and still be true to oneself? It's easy to think of superficial examples of doing this with non-critical things, changing habits, etc., but can it the process apply to deeper wants? (Silly example: I want big sundaes for dinner every day but choose not to for reasons that genuinely result in me being happy.)

Again, nothing pointed at you here, Vana, just some general thoughts that your post triggered. (And of course I want you to be happy because you so deserve to be. :rose: )
 
Two of my kids got awards at the school presentation day today and I'm so damned proud!

I love you to pieces Roxy, but all that existentialisim makes my lil' one-cylinder brain overheat. :D

Happiness is a state of mind in a place in time.

As fleeting as a cloud--but immensely satisfying.

And like any desire it can rule you--or you can rule it.

But it's all relative based on what you consider happy.

Freedom from want vs. that's what I want.

It's after all your choice. :)

Too much for the blurt thread. Start a new topic and I will answer as many as I can.
 
There's nothing more satisfying than holding a woman as she trembles in bliss. :cool:
 
hmmm, yes there is holding two women while they tremble in bliss! :D;):devil:

(like I'd really know anything about that)

All it would take is a couple of PMs to a couple of lit lasbians and I'm sure they would flock to you like... flocking things to something they would flock to...

(I need a nap)

I'd prefer holding one. The intimacy is much more intense, IMO.

I'll gladly help you know about that. But I'm not sure said woman in my post will. :confused:
