$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WildRose', 'H')ere's another thought, Qwerty.
Since you are certain that you can create a visual image of a perfect woman, why don't you just go ahead and do it? You sound like you're quite sure of what all the parameters would be, so why would you need to consult anyone else?
And, knowing that you don't agree that ideas of perfection are subjective, it would be interesting to see if you could find another person who is in 100% agreement that the image you create is perfect.
WildRose,
I never said I can create a visual image of anything, I WISH I could create a 'perfect girl/woman' . Not that easy. But I am pretty certain one does EXISTS, somewhere in the platonic plane, just like the mandelbrot set, just like the David Statue, just waiting to be discovered, or carved out.
Have you ever wanted something really bad for a really long time and finally gotten it, you thought you had the universe, then of course after some time you got bored and realized it wasn't what you wanted? Repeat that about a million times.
There are so many hobbies, interests, ideas, entertainment, so many forms of expression, beauty, love, greatness in this so far uncollapse pre-peak oil world. Yet not any one item can in and of itself keep the interest of anyone indefinitely. This is just wrong. It shouldn't be this way.
Even Bobby Fisher, who at one point was like a God of Chess, who said 'Chess was Life' now denounces the game and never lets anyone mention it in his presence. And when he does play its with his own set of rules, with the pieces starting out all randomly placed over the board. Chess has ruined his life and made him crazy, and only now does he realize chess wasn't even worth it.
I just want to find ONE thing that is totally immersive, dynamic, alive, so stunningly shocking gorgious and magnificiently beautiful, so lovely and absolutely perfect, so awe inspiring and magical, so intimately enchanting, so simple, open, kind, transparent, yet elegant that I could stare at it for the rest of eternity and never get bored, each moment being a infinite perfection over the other, always infinitely adding onto infinitely, every moment being newest and bestest, forever and a day. Never feeling bored, never tiring, never ending.
The problem in real life is not that one cannot perserveer at what one likes, or does. The real problem is that one should not feel obligated to perserveer in the first place! Society is all wrong, they say infidetly is bad, sure it is, but its worse to be obligated by marriage or duty to someone you have fallen out of love or interest with. You shouldn't force yourself to love anything that you don't.
Live is too damn short to play games like this. If you don't like something, don't do it.
Soldiers shouldn't force themselves to be loyal to there country, if they don't want to, then the country is obviously not worth that much to them anyhow, and they should AWOL.
Don't 'stick' to a hobby that you are not good at just so you can 'see it through' thats defeating the whole point and purpose if you think about it.
In the end, all I want to find is something simple, just something so elegant and 'great' so full of perfection (perfection is NOT simply the absence of flaws, it is the PRESENCE of ample perfection) that
nothing else matters, nothing else even exists.
