Begin your sentence with..........

[UsuallyPresent]

Hearts-of-Yoda they beat, within plush finger-filled chests....

 

[MiaBabe23]

Chests of gold or that chest to rest my head on, wouldn’t be a difficult choice

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Choices like that are difficult - we want both, and will struggle to get both, regardless of the rules imposed on us.

 

[XShadynzX]

Us is a very difficult word with which to begin a sentence, so I am going with this

 

[MiaBabe23]

This might be an answer or a question

(Lol I just crafted a sentence starting with that and you beat me, XShady lol)

 

[XShadynzX]

Question and answer games are fun to play but you better be ready!

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Ready am I, book in hand and eyes focussing in on the current words!

 

[MiaBabe23]

Words are pictures, are novels, are landscapes breathing the air of our dreams

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Dreams, them cruel bastiches, drive us ever onwards, striving to reach internally-inconsistent perfection.

 

[XShadynzX]

Perfection is impossible to reach but that's what makes life interesting

 

[UsuallyPresent]

"Interesting times" may not be the cruelest curse, but it's commonly underrated.

 

[MiaBabe23]

Underrated phenomena can be good to explore

(Internally inconsistent? Because it would cease to be perfect once achieved?)

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Explore! Learn! Gather! Create! Just do it on someone else's couch!

(In part, if you could get there - things can always be more perfect, much like they can always be worse. It's like accelerating to the speed of light - you can't quiiiiiiite ever get there without cheating)

 

[XShadynzX]

Couch surfing is an inexpensive way to cut accomodation costs on an overseas trip

 

[MiaBabe23]

Trip over your words through the gum in your logic

(That’s an interesting one; but what would make it unreachable? Awareness of it?)

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Logic: An organized, well-developed way of going wrong.

(Awareness of anything that could make it better would break it, if you believe awareness affects the definition of 'perfection,' or the real or even potential existence of a better state would - if you're more into definitions which don't require awareness)

 

[MiaBabe23]

Wrong to discount the power of reason, perhaps

(But being unaware would surely inevitably mean imperfection remains. Why couldn’t that awareness lead to perfecting the imperfections? Like a perfect circle, for example)

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Perhaps the pessimist sees the deep, dark tunnel; the optimist the light at the end of the tunnel; the realist, the train?

(Circles are perfect within the limits of our descriptions, aka not truly perfect. Even the platonic ideal of a circle isn't guaranteed to be perfect, only the best that Plato could imagine casting shadows on the wall of the cave. And complete perfection over all possible options is a non-starter in and of itself - for every door you open, every choice you make, one or more other door or choice becomes barred to you. Perfection in a specified goal is limited in part by the awareness of the goal, and of the reality one is within, possibly among other things)

 

[MiaBabe23]

Train the mind to find sunlight behind the clouds rather than mere silver linings

(But our knowledge, and indeed technology, mean we can move beyond Plato’s forms in how we understand possible perfection. Algebra being one example. And for people - why assume all those choices will be wrong? Chance would mean that someone somewhere will have made all optimal choices - are they then perfect? Is that determined through moral intent, good judgment or outcomes?)

 

[UsuallyPresent]

Linings are defenses, blocking access - only nudism leads to truth!

(Continuing this here)

 

[XShadynzX]

Truth will set you free!

 

[MiaBabe23]

Free as free will makes us

 

[UsuallyPresent]

US citizens are stereotyped all over the place. Clever and dimwitted, fat, frugal and extravagant, fat, friendly and cruel, fat.

 

[ccs29745]

Fat is what I am, loyal, hardworking and horny as well.

 

[Cwtchseeker]

Well that’s the last of the household chores done, now for some down time
