Random Rants LXIV: Who's Acting Like a Child Now?

[Arakhor]

that doesn't make sense

also I think I hate all of those things

What doesn't make sense? I thought that those were perfectly straight-forward options.

That is living. I was half-joking in my two posts above, if at all. The point of living is having a life and doing something about it. No life will ever be perfect, so moaning all day is, in effect, not having a life.

Indeed. Being miserable all day is literally bad for your health.

It makes me feel kinda sad when some exentrics say you aren't human if you're not on a constant search for discovery or whatever piss

EDIT:

because it's self serving

bad net sorry

 

[Takhisis]

Constant search for discovery? Nobody's asking you to become the next Cristopher Columbus.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, it's a good thing I didn't say that then. As the Roman poet Terence once said, "I am human, therefore nothing human is strange to me."

yea that was unrelated to previous conversation sorry about that

it just sprung to my mind at the moment

it's like tv physicists or some whatever or something

I really wish I could use the s-word

*looks at timestamps*

Were you two cheeky little buggers trying to steal my thread away from me?

Edit: yes, you are allowed to say ‘Sweden’, but try not to overdo it.

 

[Lohrenswald]

no but I wish I did because all your rant threads suck you lameass

 

[Arakhor]

Well, you can term altruism as self-serving because it makes you feel good, but that would be immensely cynical, wouldn't you say? I don't donate to various charities so that I can brag about it or because I get some sort of satisfaction from it (I don't), but because I can and because I think that it's the right thing to do.

 

[Lohrenswald]

No I mean if the point for me is being nice too people, the point for other people is to be nice to other people, including me, so it achieves nothing and serves no purpose

 

[Arakhor]

I said that the point was to make a positive impact on the world, which you can still do even if you don't invent anything, don't have children and so on. It would of course be preferable if everyone was nice to each other, but sadly, no one is like that all the time and some are rarely like it at all.

 

[Lohrenswald]

I think all of human activity is inherently negative

 

[Arakhor]

Well, then you are objectively wrong, which isn't a statement that can be made lightly.

 

[Takhisis]

Given that ‘negative’ is a subjective concept, Arakhor, I think he can't be objectively wrong.

Or can he?

And I must rant once again, for someone has dissed my thread title.
Now I WILL think up of a title and, after a reasonably copious meal, start the new thread.

What do you think meaning is, exactly?

 

[sophie]

The point of living is to find a reason to live and pursue that.

 

[choxorn]

So like what's the point of living

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

I mean, Darwin's not entirely wrong...

The purpose of living is to forment revolution
