"Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power, and I'd rather be a miserable ruler than a joyful idiot." That's just me though. And really, so many people suffocate their curiosity that some have stopped seeking understanding. They've gone against their biology in exchange for some modicum of comfort afforded by having someone else make all their life decisions, so they don't need to understand anything.HSIAMetalKing said:"Humans are hard-wired for despair.

We all say we want the truth at least...furry-ryuu-ken said:So what if i had a dream about werewolves? what does that say about me?!?!? lol
"We all want the truth, but we take lies and call them truth and say every one else is wrong"
Pshaw! Even the stereotypical people are pretty weird once you get to know them. They're just better at hiding it. But it's more fun to let loose and just do all those crazy things, to just ignore the stereotypes, y'know? *looks back at your post* Actually, it seems you do know xPCarbonic Penguin said:Yes, I look for the how's and why's for things as well, or else I wouldn't have come up with this! But going with the flow can also be bad... sometimes you need to carve your own path! But for me, right now I'm fine with flowing, my life's going pretty goodHexenwolf said:Heh, that's certainly a very chillaxed attitude... I wish I could go with the flow, I'm too curious for my own good, I'm always trying to figure out the "why" AND the "how" (I need both!)"
Another thing I thought of... I agree! I'm usually acting weird or random... I like to crouch slightly, back bent, swinging my arms slightly with a half maniacal grin on my face sometimes... and other such stuff! Also, do we actually have a 'normal'? What is 'normal'? Is it, fitting into one of society's many stereotypes?Hexenwolf said:Besides, weird is fun, normal is boring!
Ahaha... That she is...Scabadus said:I think they're all getting me back for the thread I made a while ago asking if low content replies bothered people... and about a hundred people replied with "no". It's so obvious in hindsight. Also, karma's a *****.Hexenwolf said:Where are all the infamous Escapist wordsmiths? Does no one feel inspired to create something surprisingly beautiful? Or something devastatingly depressing?
Allow me to change my off-the-cuff quote slightly:Hexenwolf said:"Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power, and I'd rather be a miserable ruler than a joyful idiot." That's just me though.

I use this one quite a lot.Scabadus said:Famous people throughout the ages have often said witty quotes that many people, often less witty, have repeated. Now it's your turn. Don't choose a line said by somebody else, instead make one up yourself; it doesn't have to be inspiring or funny, in fact it could be de-motivational if you wish, but try to make it powerful. Make it a line worth quoting.
Here is mine:
"Logically there is a limit to how far we can reach, there is only so much we can achieve. But if humanity was a logical race there wouldn't be so many alien sightings; it is the genius in our madness that lets us break these limits."
Ah, now THAT is a powerful quote. But really is our true place in nature so bleak? I came to terms with what I believe it to be (that humans are small and insignificant to anything other than ourselves, and meaningless except for the meanings we create), and I live a very happy life. Not faux happy either, genuinely excited simply to be alive.HSIAMetalKing said:Allow me to change my off-the-cuff quote slightly:Hexenwolf said:"Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power, and I'd rather be a miserable ruler than a joyful idiot."

I didn't mean to imply that every individual applies their life to the pursuit of understanding; rather that it is the fate of the human race to progress through developing a deeper understanding of the Universe, and that the ultimate effect of understanding is to strip away concepts of individuality and meaning until the human narrative ceases to be a narrative at all, and we are forced to confront the nature of our true place in reality.
