[QUOTE="Ishmael, post: 64088, member: 532"] I wasn't implying it's somehow your fault my friend. I just want to see people live a healthy and happy life. What end do you get from this though? A life of struggling, trying to force not only everyone else to validate your identity but everyone else? In that case, I could extend the same concept outwards and refuse to participate in your fantasy. That doesn't offer a solution to the problem nor establish a good relationship between us. I have my internal wishes and humanity and then the separation of object truth. Logic cements itself in my mind forcing the conclusions to be drawn every time the line begins. I try not to live for my internal wishes as they are fallible. 'Some are better off' is disingenuous. Objectively, nobody is 'better off' rotting or suffering compared to the optimal situation. They're only 'better off' than what 'could be' or where they 'will be'. If you actually do all of the things required to objectively improve your life rather than take shortcuts, you will see where real progress lies and where setbacks will always block you. [/QUOTE]
