Happiness doesn't last, friendo. All good things come to an end.
If you have something that keeps you happy, enjoy it while you can. It's not really that you struck a nerve, it's that you on occasion seem to feel the need to come in towards me with some passive aggressive quirk.
Again, the only thing that matters is how you choose to move forward after something is lost.
There's a famous quote that says,"This too shall pass." It was inscribed on the ring of a Persian king and its purpose is to make a person happy when they are sad and sad when they are happy. All history aside, there's a profound wisdom in those words, really.
You want to know what else doesn't last? Suffering.
I'm sorry that you feel I'm trying to egg you on with passive aggressiveness. My original comment about the thread turning out depressing was directed at no one in particular. Sometimes It feels like you don't like me all that much really. =/
And yet life has a way of making happiness seem as though it passes in an instant even if it lasts for years and suffering for eons even if it only lasts a moment. One can't even comprehend what true happiness means without a good deal of suffering first.
This is a matter of perspective, however. View points are no more absolute than the ideas/concepts that help influence and form them. If we are to assume that one is the opposite of the other, then happiness and suffering are two sides to the same coin really. You can't have one without the other and neither of them is ultimately more permanent than the other. In all honestly, if a person wants true peace then they have to abandon both. Also, I do hope your lack of friendo's and Mr. Passive Agressives means you don't actually feel quite so negatively about me. =]

This thread is meant to be optimistic and yet it's rather depressing now, is it not?
Just lock it mate
Nah, mang. No one is acting particularly out of line. Just a bit dismal, rather.

Listen mister passive aggressive, life is shit. It kicks you when you're down and and not up to you if it's going to stop or not. The only thing that's up to you is if and how you decide to keep pushing through. Yeah, money isn't everything. But it's certainly something, and something essential. Because without it, life is even harder and in many cases more miserable.
Everything you know and love can be gone in an instant. It doesn't matter how rich or poor you are, or how hard you try to stop it. And all you can do is pick up the crumbling pieces and keep crawling forward, hoping you don't get stomped on while you're still recovering.
Understanding the inevitability of suffering doesn't mean you can't live for happiness, nor does it make wallowing in that suffering the least bit helpful in regards to ending it. I'm sorry if I struck a nerve. I was simply making an observation. My life isn't pretty either and sometimes I want to breakdown like anyone else would.

I get that some of you guys are trying to refute BC but what exactly are you trying to refute? Albeit he's a guy with no money troubles and two cars more expensive then the majority of our houses, but there's still wisdom in recognizing that money isn't absolute.
The fact that he has money doesn't negate that nor does that fact that money is the driving force behind our current societal structure.

Doesn't matter to me, I will always find learning and talking to another person entertaining. There's no doubt it will be interesting because our interests are very varied and different. It's a conversation id personally enjoy, but it's ultimately up to you if your comfortable with it. If you are, feel free to PM me at any time
Oh, I don't care if you knew/know all about me, really. I'm just not the type of person to start talking about myself like that. If anyone wants to know then all they have to do is ask.

And you never know, you could have a connection with someone and feed off eachother. Sure, a mentor is always good, but being able to say you formed yourself and your own style goes with a lot more merit.
Which is why I think that having some dedicated peers would be very great as well.
However, I don't care for the 'merits' of learning everything myself. That is meaningless to me and my own skill. I'd just appreciate the wisdom of someone with experience who could criticize my work.
As for that heavy mind of mine, I'm not one to put my own baggage on the table like that. I open up when people inquire, as rare of an occasion as that is.
Well, then consider my offer and friendly inquiry. A genuine one too.
And I get your points, I see that the experience and wisdom is invaluable, so I can't argue that.
Seek out peers on this website and see where it takes you, no harm
In doing so
Eh, I suppose the very nature of not displaying the real depth of my thoughts and interests until asked to share it is what keeps me from getting to know any of you any more personally. Honestly, though, I'm not sure where to begin with that sort of thing. My life isn't much worth talking about when it comes to entertainment and my interests can be very niche.

I like living to create. Unfortunately passion is a seed that needs watering to grow and mine feels like it was planted on Mercury these days. ='[
What do you enjoy doing?
Well in regards to a career, I want to do something with art. I'd love to sell my work but I need a lot more exposure and practice before I feel ready to try that out.
Sadly I'm fairly out of practice not having any real friends or acquaintances that share my interests to grow off of stunts my drive.
Fuel yourself, and look at this community. A lot of people on here love the arts, maybe there's something of value for you here.
Motivation flows like molasses with so much on my mind. But, truly, what I would really like (albeit some dedicated 'peers' would be very nice as well) is a mentor.

I have no significantly structured or organized beliefs behind why I do the things that I do, or make the decisions that I make. At this point in time I simply live to experience life and learn. When it comes to acting I don't have some higher purpose. I simply acting according to the logic that I should question all forms of influence no matter their nature, I should try to avoid anything that has to potential to cause any needless suffering, and any action I take should be done so with focused attention, without distraction. What I am doing should be simply and exactly what I am doing and nothing else.

Nigs plz. Water under the bridge isn't worth this level of heat.
As for the topic itself, it's rather depressing honestly because there's a bit of truth behind what was said. Enough so to warrant multiple peeps wanting to leave.
Someone I like might leave tomorrow and I might never speak to them again. It really it sad.
