Last line is the kicker. However, please read it through.
------
EVILSHX: do you remember the other day when I said I wanted to possiably try going to japan for a while
EVILSHX: It was just something I was thinking of, untill I saw a book at borders, "Live and Work in Japan"
EVILSHX: Surely stumbling across such a title (one with such a fitting name all things considered), would invite the prime opportunity for reading it.
Absolut Level: nice
EVILSHX: Its weird, the book makes mention of Racial profiling, discrimination of foreigners, small, crappy, and flimsly built homes, ultra expensive utilities charges, and of course ample Earthquake warnings.
EVILSHX: All this shit that is supposed to scare me away from taking this possibility, but for some reason its making me more drawn to it.
Absolut Level: Because you are attracted to suffering; because you find it entertaining.
EVILSHX: Its like logic would dictate its not a good move to make, but it comes out kind of a mute point vs the whole of it.
Absolut Level: I think you have a difficult time understanding however, that in order to be that close and personal to suffering, you have to go through it yourself as well.
EVILSHX: well, the entertainment thru suffering angle kind of makes sense, but with that last point you kind of lost me. are you refering to being close and personal with the experience for its sole sake, being that to experience it in its whole, I have to take the suffering as a exchange to uptake the benefits?
EVILSHX: Or maybe I'm just blinded by the ridiculous abundance of Sushi and Anime.
