atlashead 1 Report post Posted October 8, 2017 I've spent my life trying to not clog the motor of my mind-and thus not my emotions. Imagine for a second your mind gave you the choice: "True" or "False" to a question of, ultimately, love-that you knew you had to choose true to not sell your soul, that false was the coward way out. And you chose true, because you're an egotist, but it turned out that love was probably wrong. That everything you believed about this concept was untrue. It's not past the point of no-return, but that point is nearly here, so maybe I shouldn't be making this post, I'm just wondering, if you've always done the virtuous thing, and directed your mind in the selfish but moral direction, could your emotions be wrong? I believe free will exists, and that existence, like all things non-concrete, lies on a logical proof, yes of my own creation. I have struggled my whole life to be what I am, but maybe my emotions just weren't good enough... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Good enough" or "wrong" don't apply. --Brant put on the thinking cap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
atlashead 1 Report post Posted October 23, 2017 This has nothing to do with thinking. When you've seen a man bear his soul, you understand what a sell-out is; thus, any person who has ever sold out's soul is that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peter 130 Report post Posted November 2, 2017 One of my favorite fictional animals is the dragon. And I wonder why cartoons normally depict animals? My favorite "I wish I could do that" can be found in the Harry Potter movies and scifi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caroljane 112 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 Bear is also a verb, class! Knuckles rapped all round. If you see a man bear his soul, he has probably not sold it out yet, so you should go up to him and try to dissuade him from doing so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
