Comments on: Subjective and random are not synonymous http://blogs.nonado.net/artemis/2006/04/07/subjective-and-random-are-not-synonymous/ But these days I'm a long way away Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:05:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.0 by: LadyLovelace http://blogs.nonado.net/artemis/2006/04/07/subjective-and-random-are-not-synonymous/#comment-1455 Fri, 09 Jun 2006 15:51:59 +0000 http://blogs.nonado.net/artemis/2006/04/07/subjective-and-random-are-not-synonymous/#comment-1455 Damnit I left out the fact that it would have to be a blonde wig....that's the most important part. Fine,...my point is destroyed so let's just agree that love is shit, and we love being single...I'm not bitter. Really, I'm being sincere now. Couldn't be happier...Life is great!

Everyone always believes themselves to be right. I have little respect for people who doubt themselves constantly. If you are adamant enough you can convince some people of almost anything..... Surely a subjective opinion is important when it works in your favour...being that "beauty is subjective" and if it was more general..we might all have to go out buy a load of fake tan, invest in a wig, and buy a lot of denim.. Personally, I'd rather die a virgin. Ooops too late (pity it would emphasise my point so much more) I was attempting a form of obtuse humour, which I’m afeared only I derive amusement from…my point was exactly what you highlighted…well at least part of my point I tend to digress(….)

And I by that same token will think you are. I have never claimed to behave completely rationally while emotionally involved. That I have does not make feelings irrational. It makes me flawed, which I freely acknowledge. The reason metaphorical obstacles exist is because people allow them to, and no, by this sentence I do not mean that I have never succumbed to this tendency. The common misconception that love makes you do crazy ridiculous things is born of the fact that most of the time, people don't even know their own priorities let alone understand them. Love makes it blindingly suddenly clear to many people exactly how foolish some of their preconceptions are. If the most important thing in the world is to be with a person who lives a thousand miles away for example, then it is not crazy to move a thousand miles. If love did not make sense, it would mean so much less. People don't wish to make sense of it because then they would have to admit responsibility for so many "subjective" things. And yes, now I'm being objective, because subjective opinions aren't worth shit, in my objective opinion :) I hold “inaccurrate” and “wrong” to be interchangeable terms, so I don’t see how I could be one without being the other :) By all means think that I am wrong, everyone else does.

How about I disagree with you. While nothing you have said is neccessarily inaccurate...it's still wrong. I also deal in certain absolutes and it mainly revolves around the fact that I am always most certainly right. We could war over semantics but love is illogical in the greater sense of the word....or at least it makes you do crazy, ridiculous things...and feel ecstatically happy but more commonly crap. It's like a drug to a manic like me...so I reject it at all costs. This seems like a classic stand-off between the objective view and the subjective view. Right now, you're objective..things are going well, you've got stability, and a high enough vantage point to see reason, and observe the irrationality of the raving coupling insanity mill...but if your point was subjective it would probably not be so reasonable. Love is a word used to describe a wide variant of emotions and I've been (dare I say it) a victim (hahaaa in your face, I've been tortured by love..), and a witness, to my own and your own irrational behaviour while in relationships...so...love makes you loco (I have such a cute accent when I say that...punctuation eludes the general perception of my natural face-to-face charm - the latter sentence may infer I'm crazy all the time but relationships increase it...nightmare) Therefore using my mathematical genius I can conclude..that love makes you insane, and insanity is illogical, therefore...love is illogical. Also, you can influence the direction of your life to a point..but there's a reason why people speak of metaphorical obstacles all the time. They're friggin huge and I'm only a little person. Life really is that gay... *Very large exhalation of breath* Bear with me alright…I’m commenting far back because I’ve just arrived and am a very opinionated person… How about I disagree with you.

So make it better." You've heard me talk about this before. In my opinion it's not always possible. I've tried and it doesn't always work. Myabe it's just me but that's just my opinion. “Life is what you make it. So make it better.”
