Anyone can get laid if they have Optimism no matter how small you dick is. |

This wasn't meant to be me blessing you with my infinite knowledge.
It's something I wrote and I thought that some people on here would appreciate it.
I knew that other people wouldn't appreciate it, and I appreciate that you don't appreciate it.
I don't expect anyone to accept my viewpoints, but that doesn't mean I'm going to stop sharing them with you all. |

- Optimism is a beautiful thing that gives you the ability to pull yourself away from any situation because, couldn’t it always be worse? And therefore don’t you have it pretty good? Have faith in goodness. It is the most genuine of all things. Whenever things appear to be going terribly wrong, whenever you are completely down on yourself, and thinking that things couldn’t be worse, stop for a minute and recognize that actually, yes, things can always be worse. Infinitely worse.

Totally agree with all of the above...
But MOST of all this:
| quote: |
***Look at the way you live your life and see how much more enjoyable things can become when all of a sudden things aren’t capable of hurting you anymore. It gives you the ability to progress towards infinite happiness.*** |
So simple...:happy2: |

Its the above quote that I disagree with more than anything else. The more I read about the abstraction of time, and the existence in a moment, the more similarities I see with authors stating this eternal hope, or idea, that all of a sudden your supreme self-confidence will somehow change the dogma of one's life, and lead them to be more self-fulfilled and enjoyable. Maybe its my nature, but in so many ways, I see this as a denial of change, in that the supreme self-confidence will be used as a security blanket, a buffer permitting all change to be no change at all...

That didn't really answer my question. I sincerely wanted to know. :p |

Well in that case, isn't it obvious that the answer is yes?
We are actually superscientists smarter than anyone the world has ever seen before. |

I completely understand what you are saying and think that is valid.
I should clarify that I don't think that me or anyone else is completely capable of actually doing this without living in that true state of constant meditation that is too unpractical to do and continue to live in the physical world.
It is the idea of progressing on a journey with that as the goal that you have in mind and taking pleasure in the steps you take to get there trying to become more and more at that level the entire time. |

Not only yellow auras and puddles but also a distinct "coolness" vibe, only seen before near John Travolta in his early years.
Such as during his strut following the movie Stayin Alive. |
