Random Thought of the Day

[Beautifull]

I read this a few minutes ago:

People often turn to suicide because they are seeking relief from pain. Remember that relief is a feeling. And you have to be alive to feel it. You will not feel the relief you so desperately seek, if you are dead.

It's not my quote, but I thought it may be helpful for anyone feeling compelled to end it all for good. However, I think it would be better to read the full article here: http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/

oh my. that is a VERY good point! I like that little excerpt!

Babies are EXHAUSTING!!!!!

This ache solely out of love...how long does it have to last? It can lessen sometimes, and sometimes grow stronger, but does it ever disappear?

Yes, it hit me too.

Unfortunately, I think it will last until the end of everything.

I don't think so, unless you lose your memories completely, and even so there are pieces of time and memories that often strike those who have suffered a not-so-severe form of amnesia. Such little pieces of memories are what therapists often use in their treatments to help amnesic people recover their whole memories, when possible. For example when they use hypnosis.

Other than that, forgetfulness is easier on people who haven't really loved, or who have loved less than you. Therefore they find it easier to move on, while you don't, because their level of commitment was smaller, so their pain (supposing they ever feel any) is smaller as well. That's why you will find them swimming in a sea of joy, while you're starving in the Sahara desert.

Yeah...don't help that some people read too much into it.

As always, you have said it very well...I really understand every part of that, and the bad thing though, is that you will drown yourself in the deepest sea of misery and pain just to see them happy. That's what really kills...

Some of us are bound to pain. Such is our karma, unfortunately.

Yeah, I know that too, going through it so much...and yet, I keep on throwing myself right back into the throes of love after I've just released myself from a previous painful one-sided love....but this time, I don't care if the guy is with someone else, all I want is his happiness, which is different from all the other times...he's different.

I just watch a commercial for serta mattresses. It showed a cute young couple in bed, reading the paper and just hanging out. Normal right? Except there were no sheets on the mattress. Who does that???? (Except of course drunk college kids)

Mattress commercials are always done without sheets, because they want to show "the mattress", with all its divinity, virtues and fanciful features (like the springs); features not often clearly seen if you cover the mattress with a sheet

Yes but in this case it was portrayed like the couple spent the whole day in bed without sheets. Why couldn't they do the same thing with sheets interspersing pictures of the mattress??

The whole day... hmmm ... yeap, it would have looked a lot more realistic with at least one sheet somewhere around the bed
