It is just as bad to be selfless as it is to be selfish. A selfish person is willing to let others suffer for their happiness. A selfless person is willing to let themselves suffer for the happiness of others. A good person augments their happiness by encouraging the happiness of others.

If you've read any of my few posts here on the Escapist, you might know that I have been having girl trouble. After mountains of pain, absurdity, and junk food, however, I feel that I am a MUCH better person for having gone through the experience. For one, I've realized that I deserve...

I've been through a tough break-up recently, and have been kicking myself in the ass for sulking. I'm trying to get back into the "game", as that seems to be the general consensus as to what I should do (according to friends and family, at least). I was trying to think about how I would go...

Both of these. Anyone remember Golden Sun? That's what I'm talkin' bout! A lot of "turn-based" style RPGs are losing their charm with unnecessary complexity, what with their "turn-based strategy but real-time combat"(*cough* RTS *cough*) - case in point, DA:O. Don't get me wrong, I love...

Whenever I'm sarcastic, I overdo it and people think I'm serious... Also, I'm self-destructive :D I rely solely on others for happiness, and am not able to provide it for myself. I understand myself fairly well, yet do not attempt to change the flaws that I know I have. Most importantly...

Hmmm.... Depends on what you think of as a soul: The "logical" idea of a soul is generally sentience. The "spiritual" idea of a soul is entirely different, and extremely subjective. My opinion? "Logical" : No "Spiritual": Yes

I have talked to her about it, somewhat, and it did reassure me. I really do trust her, I know she wouldn't cheat me, but the job she's doing does involve providing physical pleasure to her clients, some of which will inevitably be pervs... You're right, though, if I want us to be happy...

I know, it is the saving grace of this situation...that, and the fact that LMTs can make boatloads of money. $.$

Bioshock Would you kindly make my head explode by revealing an awesome twist? Seriously, I did NOT see it coming.

My girlfriend is training to be a Licensed Massage Therapist(LMT). I went with her to the professional trade school at which she will be studying and took a tour. I was impressed with the place so far. It had an air of professionalism and very up-to-date equipment. Then we got to the...

I would rather die trying to be a hero (no matter how un-heroic the outcome may be), than live with survivor's guilt the rest of my days.

Tonight's gonna be another sleepless night for me. It got me thinking, "How many Escapists are insomniacs?" So what, if any, experiences have you had with insomnia? What do you feel like when you're awake? How do you try to get back to sleep(if you do try)? Reading sometimes works for me...

I gots one: It was the most vivid dream I've ever had. It was like watching a movie.

Really? I thought Bioshock's atmosphere and story were top-notch. What did you dislike about it? OT: Tenchu Z. The only damn impulse buy I ever made, I still have nightmares about the look on the face of the Gamestop employee as he was ringing it up... *shudders*

"We're on a mission from God." - Blues Brothers If just copy and paste the script of that movie into this forum I would. If you haven't seen it, WATCH IT
