I think CS would have been cool with word-quibbles. Next one: The best satisfactions on earth are lacking something compared to what? Like, if my expectation was, "This activity is not only going to make me happy, but also rich and as virile as I was at seventeen," then no, pretty much no circumstance is going to fulfill that. But my circumstances make me about as happy as any human being on earth. Shouldn't that be the high endpoint of satisfaction? Like, satisfaction can't be defined as "some kind of pleasure it's impossible to feel in earthly existence" or "like orgasming all the time", or nobody could use it and it's basically a throwaway word. Do you see what I mean? Basically, my satisfactions are right in line with my expectations, so I logically cannot feel like they're lacking. Right?

Again you quibble about the meanings of words in a comment, which is off-the-cuff of course. Can you not understand what I mean, or is it your greatest pleasure to understand and then ignore in favor of silly arguements. CS said that the best satisfactions on earth are lacking somenting. If you wish to comment, please comment on that.

...In short, since I notice I didn't say it, everyone's ideal for every circumstance should be "it'll make me purely, wholesomely happy without killing a bunch of baby seals or something such."
Re: a comment on Never born. by | Broken |	zodiac 213.186.179.127	6-Aug-05/3:18 AM
That's silly. That the situation is "ideal" MEANS that it's going to provide satisfaction. At least, as far as most people are concerned. Whose IDEAL of marriage (that is, whose vision of a PERFECT marriage) is misery? CS would have done better to say "people fall short of realizing their ideal circumstances" or "people make up stupid ideals, like a Porsche and a wife who makes waffles naked." Also, CS Lewis is a bint.

Maybe you don't want to, but if you DID want to make this poem EVEN BETTER you might make the following edits: Breathe => breath, Planning about your perfect life => Planning your perfect life, dreamt => dreamed, it to => it would, .. => [nothing], long => longer, .. => [nothing], punctuation throughout. Just a suggestion. I really enjoyed seeing what it would be like to live pointlessly. -10-

Re: A Night at the Move-ies by Crann Mascher	zodiac 213.186.179.127	6-Aug-05/3:03 AM
Makes me wonder, why did you emphasize "move" in movies? Movies just means pictures that move.
