Cruel to be kind

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

People change quicker in crisis, so I try to disembowel them with a real crisis. That's if I like them.

If I dont like you I'm okay to let you experience the consequences of your acts with no assistance or advice. I did that to a suicide caller. He calls me and says he's gonna kill himself. I said, "I dont care. Try not to make a mess in the house." And I hung up. He musta called me 12 times. He could not believe I really didnt care. I didnt. I think the world would be a much better place if more people snuffed themselves.

... I think the world would be a much better place if more people snuffed themselves.

How dare you say something like that in my thread?

I'm going to exhibit some real cruel to be kind stuff and tell you that this schtick ain't working anymore... get a new one... or better yet, just get lost.

Naaah, it's true. Everyone knows it's true.

I just had a conversation with a foster mom. One of the darlings got mad and called Child Protection on her. I told her to dump his ass into an orphanage. He'd forgotten what pieces of crap his parents were. So toss him back.

Yes indeed - and damn you, woman! I now have an insipid 70's pop song stuck in my head!

This would describe me, too. And then my friends are washing their collective hands of me because I'm behaving in a stupid way. Do you find that happens to you, too?

They just can't understand why I can't see what they see so clearly.

We don;t see it because we don't want to. We're happier suffering. And it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's simply a lesson I feel I haven't yet learned or accepted yet. So I continue to suffer for those I feel are worth the pain. Massochist to the core. Sadism is on the rise. I should be quite horrid in another 10 years. *winks*

Well, I'll be looking for that horrid man in 10 years. We might be the same age by then. ;-)



Didn't someone like Buddah say that life IS suffering? (Jeepers my memory has gone to shit.) Of course, it wasn't said in this context, though.

Do we suffer because we want pity? or attention? Do we honestly think that it will soften a heart that we see has hardened? I think, to some degree, yes to all three.

I'm on one of those "life-long preference quests" where I just won't settle for less then what I want in my partner. *sighs and thinks of a certain native*
God I love this lifestyle.

(Jeepers my memory has gone to shit.)

You said jeepers. * grinz cause I'm entertained*

Insightful. I think it gives us something to feel rather then to feel nothing.
We're sensation and emotion junkies. We hate drama, but we love the attention. Quite a paradox.
I think a few of us are here (in this life) to enjoy and be entertained by life. We want to feel everything. Dive into the sensation pool and never stop swimming.
You bring your floaties and I'll bring my snorkel.
