human emotions suck & castlevania is cool

Aug 10, 2008 00:25

I love how I had something to complain about and I can't remember what it was. I guess I should be thankful that my complaints are usually so flippant that they disappear before I can jot them down here and remember them later. I've concluded that the two stupidest human emotions are worry and guilt. Neither of them really do anything, in the end, ( Read more... )

you know, i had a similar conversation a while back with someone; about how certain emotions are useless because they don't drive you to do anything. i used worry as well: all it does is make you mope, or make you frustrated, but you're mopey/frustrated and you can't do anything about it, you just have to wait until whatever you're worried about is resolved.

he called me a robot.

I still think worry and guilt are useless human emotions that, you're right, don't really resolve anything. People resolve things, not worrying about things. So why do we worry about things at night while we lay in bed instead of just pushing it from our mind and doing something about it in the morning? Blah blah blah. I think a robot would be some kind of void of making consciousness decisions. I CHOOSE NOT TO FEEL GUILT AND WORRY!!

yeah, that's pretty much what i told him (it wasn't me who was worried though). i was like, 'man, i wish i could just turn worry off. it would be a switch behind my left ear.' and then he got offended!
it's the worst when you worry yourself sick about something, then you're worried and you're sick and you feel incredibly stupid for being so worried. or at least i do. and it still doesn't do anything!

i think guilt can be useful to an extent, though. at least when you feel guilty, there may be an opportunity to learn something. you do a bad thing, you feel bad, you learn not to do it again. but once you start doing things like moping and dwelling on it, then i agree it becomes useless.
actually, it's the exact seem way i feel about regret.

I suppose so. But I tend to feel guilty about things that I really have no control over. So I'm like "wtf, why am I feeling guilty about this when I could've done nothing about it anyway?" So I just sit around with myself and feel somewhat ridiculous.

Having a plan, remembering, and learning from things are on a different level than worry and guilt. We have where we remember things (and I guess I like to worry about things because then I remember them? sometimes I have a problem with that), and then where we remember them so much we worry about them. And then it's the same thing with guilt. Going over and over in your head about something you couldn't have changed. If I could say "oh, I did this wrong! I'll be more careful next time" it would be a hell of a lot easier...

djkd I hate them both and wish I could feel them to a much lesser extent then I do all the time. But I guess I've always had a problem like that. I should just breathe, calm down and shut my brain off. GOODBYE THOUGHTS OF REOCCURING MISTAKES. I'D LIKE TO SAY I'LL MISS YOU BUT I WON'T.

LOL oh god he's such a retard. Even in like Castlevania Adventure he's retarded something fierce. "lol you had my baby I think I'll lock myself away in a coffin because I'm awesome, obviously." And then we he wakes up, sees Trevor, and goes "oh shit." Oh, that game is wo~nderful. So's Portrait of Ruin. Charolette & Jonathan are adorable as hell.
