Topic: I believe too thoroughly that we create our own reality
Anonymous A started this discussion 8 years ago #66,769
for one thing - an unpopular belief where violence is concerned - but I'm convinced that the victim-to-be picks out the assailant with as much skill and craft as the murderer seeks his victim, and until we learn much more about both, we'll get nowhere battling crime. I'm not justifying murder by any means, but I'm saying that the victim wants to be murdered -- perhaps to be punished, if not by a vengeful god then by one of his fellows, and that a would-be murderer can switch in a minute and become the victim instead; and that the slayer wants to be slain.

for one thing - an unpopular belief where trolling is concerned - but I'm convinced that the dupe-to-be picks out the troll with as much skill and craft as the troll seeks his dupe, and until we learn much more about both, we'll get nowhere battling trolling. I'm not justifying trolling by any means, but I'm saying that the dupe wants to be trolled -- perhaps to be outraged, if not by his own stupidity then by that of his troll, and that a would-be troll can switch in a minute and become the dupe instead; and that the troll wants to be trolled.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!

This sounds like Roko's Basilisk trying to come into existence.
