my questions are neither a quest for truth nor am I seeking satisfaction through 'truth' or what can be perceived as truth.
believe it or not I actually ENJOY the fact that there are so many variables, so many loose ends and so many opposing truths -- that's what brings ME satisfaction.
what fun is something that is just black and white?

you obviously think too much. What's so wrong about that??? hehe Well thats how I use to think. Then I realized, this type of thinking really gets you know where! It leaves you in the same position you were in in the first place: unsatisfied and still wanted to know the truth! But that's just it, the truth is what you perceive it to be. Discussing this is as pointless as debating whether there is a god or not. In short, your ups and downs, you misery and pain, could all be due to the lack of sleep, don't take that literally, what I mean to say is let you mind sleep for a while, let go of your thoughts, and especially other people's thougths as well. I'm not saying you'll feel better doing this, but you will feel relaxed. You can think you know everything and still be miserable. It's hard to find that one thing that makes you happy. And sadly, those who are complex and think complex thoughts, find that their journey to happiness is to complex. But hey, if we are meant to be complex individuals, then why fight it. Either way, we remain unsatisfied.

this question is hard, I think, because there are so many variables involved. afterall, how can you say who is hurting more?
My friend jeff made a good point as well : two people who react so differently to the situation would never have been in the same situation in the first place. :) oh well, it's all hypothetical anyhow.

People handle pain differently... some are more use to it, some are just more private... either way I think the damages balance out... guy A may lose friendships cuz he whines and whines and never gets over it (let's say anyway), and in turn becomes USE to this state and nevr really move on...
while guy B may seem the more cool and level headed, he could be hruting inside and bottling up things that will eventually damage him emotionally, he may also close himself off emotionally and never be able to love again...
everyone is different, but maybe it balances out in the end... but the sad thing for me is, I think I resemble guy B more and that's scary because you dont THINK he has a problem, so you don't try and help... :(

I think Guy A and Guy B should ease both of their pains...in bed.

It's hard to tell. Guy A's feelings toward the situation is apparent. Because he externally expresses his anger, it would seem to one that he suffered more damage to his psyche; Guy A may seem more damaged emotionally. Externally, Guy B might be cool about it and moving on with his life, but one may not know exactly how he's feeling. He may have a lot of pent up anger toward the situation. Mentally, he may be in the same place he was when his girlfriend dumped him.
I'm hoping I made sense. :)

is this one of those question "if trains A leaves NY at 9PM going 75 mph and train B leave Dallas going 60 mph...."???
i really suck at those =o\ and if you ask me...i wish the two trains crash into each other and everyone die!! Die!!! hahaha
in this case, i hope the two guys will find each other and turn gay and guy A could be the girl on the relationship cause he’s all emotional and stuff and they move to hawaii to have a gay marriage and adopt a gay kid and live happily ever after and then they die!! DIE!!! hehehe

I think pain is always what you make of it. Damage and pain are different things; pain is the perception of damage. In this case, guy A and B simply handle pain differently. I think in cases dealing with the psyche, its harder to guage "damage," simply because the mind is a funky-ass thing.
Posted by Hyung @ 01/27/2002 05:00 PM PST
hehe true. but do they suffer the same damage?

Guy A likes pouring salt on his open wound.
