Isn't there a fancy dress, cider fuelled, "collect the most
traffic cones for charity" student fun run you should be on?

oh damn those revolting students! Why can't they just grow
up and sit at home and complain about students instead?

At least you can say the only excrement on your walls is
your own.

arthiritis will kill you. sure itll probably be in some
roundabout way like the heavy burden of the toaster pulling
your jittery hands down into the full sink or you just not
being able to move quick enough to dodge those three stray
cans of soup falling from the top shelf at Sainsburys but
itll get you eventually.

That figure of speech came from the good old Nietchzsche. He
was upset that he was a German, and that he couldn't get any
women because he was an ugly cockfucker, so he invented it
to excuse his cumfuckingcrapness at life in general. It's a
good saying for all of us who suffer because we're Germans,
or because we're lame at doing anything in general.
Suffering! Suffering is reserved for those who are
eventually strong! yes! I suffer like a weak little
shit-ridden bint, therefore I will be strong! grr! etc.

Well most people use it in a context where it does actually
have some relevance, but if you wanted to be pedantic you
could say 'what doesnt kill you, and you fully recover from,
only makes you stronger, possibly'

The "stronger" isn't necessarily physical... overcoming a
great trial can strengthen you mentally or spiritually,
which is probably more along the lines of the original
meaning.

yeah, agreed. Recovering from clinical depression did it for
me. Made me much, much stronger. Totally different person
now. If you fail to see the meaning in the phrase maybe you
are still being killed.

a more pertinent question would be, why do people need what
marlowe said explained to them?

because people are not programmed robots. *insert argument
about emotions playing an important role in human
functioning, etc*

overcoming hard/challenging situations, physically and
mentally, has the effect that one is better prepared for
similar situations in the future, and gives the feeling of
fulfillment in the moment itself. similar to winning a game
of chess. the winnig by itself already makes you a better
player in future games.

rolanding.

Pleasures are better if you reisist them and moderate how
often you indulge in them. For example, if you have sex
very, very rarely, when you actually do have sex it feels
better than if you had done it every day.

Keep on rationalizing your sexless life. Sooner or later you
WILL have sex and join the Darkside.

I am beyond base pleasures like sex or alcohol. Maybe one
day you will join me in my oneness with the divine, in my
love of 17th century literature, and in my decoding of
medieval Church songs.

Points: 5125 Status: Regular



if you have sex very, very rarely, when you actually do have
sex you will last for 1 minute. Become very embarrassed and
rationalize that never having sex is probably better than
explaining to the woman you'll do better next time covered
in your own cum.

By "small pleasures" I meant children. You are indeed not a
child-boy. You're a fine young lad, in fact, full of spunk,
reading to take on the world, like a gazelle running across
a field.
