I'll address you as she from now on.she

She went on to say : Hmmm.



Further : but fake smiles and fake laughter rankle of the bogus.

viscousmemories

She loves you...
Yeh. Yeh.

She loves you...
Yeh. Yeh.

And with a love like that, you know you should be glad.

And 2 nose to your nose!

Ahem.

With that in mind, sophie, would you say that nuns are on the whole a fairly jolly bunch, or no?

Ensign Steve : SO can you realise the plight of nuns. Since when did women have some rights in life? If you think clearly nuns were leading the cause long long before men let them think they had an equal share. yeh. (Despite the fucked up priests). yeh.

You are reading 2 much into what I have written.

sophie

viscousmemories : On the whole no, 2 much human troubles to sidetrack them.

sophie

livius drusus : bad logic. reprocess please.

If (x) implies (y).
then
If not(x) implies not(y). not(existence of omniGOD) also can mean unwillingness to believe, power struck, believe themselves to be the incarnation of omniGOD, ect..

livius drusus

Since you are addressing me, the second person pronoun "you" will suffice. I see you managed to use it just fine in the first sentence. Keep up the good work. You may also call me livius. Unlike the Pope and mafia dons, I find the inappropriate use of the third person terribly affected.

Only the ones you catch, obviously. There are some fine actors in the world. Some people, particularly those who have learned to hide the truth about their pain from a very young age, could deceive even an acumen as sharp as your own.

Furthermore, please keep in mind that we're talking here about a single picture on a website and a handful of profiles written in a stilted, contrived style. Not one on one interaction, not a conversation, not a laugh. Just a picture. There are entire industries built on the premise that happiness can be faked for the camera and look even more genuine than the genuine.

Mageth

sophie, that's exactly what livius was pointing out - the bad logic in claiming that "happy clergy support the existence of god".

Reprocess, please.

sophie

Mageth : sure thing.

Well happy clergy surely would not support the downfall of humans, would they? I think happy clergy would help make others think the clergy have something the others do not have. Note carefully what I am saying. I am not claiming that happy clergy means omniGOD exists. I am saying that it adds support to their belief systems.

No, emotional stability does not preclude being able to feel unhappiness. The assumpion is that the exiled leader is not emotionally unstable, just very unhappy. She is still of sound mind.

Beggar finds dinner - hence his joy. Despite his emotional unstability. He is still of unsound mind.

It seems as if you are trying to redefine "emotional stability" to mean "happy", but that begs the question.

I don't know - but I guess that exploring and/or creating are key. Changing, becoming, growing. Best to be a student or artist of some sort; to continually have challenges to overcome.

But both your no's are misdirected, Sophie. Happiness is less a state, and more like a path.

yin/yang.

sophie

Nowhere357 : If she is still of sound mind then why would she not correspond with reality? Unhappy because she cannot have what she lost reeks of emotional unstability to me. It tells me the exiled leader has not come to grips with the new reality - hence the unhappiness.

But he became of unsound mind because of his inability to produce dinner. He finds a crust of bread, has joy and he returns to his old emotionally stable self.


Perhaps I may be guilty of some transgression. Can you tell which?
