The potential of the human race is limitless. There is nothing we would no tbe able to accomplish if we got out of our own way. Since that will never happen due to the emotional nature of humanity it comes off as a cruel joke.[/QUOTE]
so laugh anyway.
hah hah. beats the whole victim mentality.
Actually, I think our potential is not "limitless", and I think our emotional selves are worth the whole universe, and more. Like "love" for example. What would the Universe be worth without that?
growing up means, generally, getting a more realistic notion about ourselves, and others. . . a better perspective. And kids should be kids, and young adults should be young adults, and it's useless to expect something more. And while "knowing our limits" and "knowing our potential" are sorta undefined "virtues", these seemingly contradictory notions are things that, when used sensibly, can really give us some traction in life, and help us to grow. . . . . and, obviously, these horizons do change as we grow or move along somehow.
No need to despair just yet, bro. We've got a while, still. . . . . and setting our sights on this world or this life is sorta devaluing ourselves and what our potential can be. Anyone who doesn't have some values that transcend this life is "shorting his own stock."

It doesn't appear the kid thinks it's just a cruel joke. To others it might be, but f**k them. To others it might be seen as just a play to get some good PR.. and f**k them too.
The only person whose opinion really matters on this is that kid's. If that kid ends up super stoked, and they have made even one of his days of his shortened life, I'm glad they could, and would do it.
F**k the haters.
I don't think thats what Stoked meant bro.

babe, I don't think he meant emotions like love. I think he was talking about the self-centered, ego-driven, contesting, racing individuals that blinden themselves with their own interests and needs that they forget how great things they can achieve and how big happiness' they can create if they held hands and left those ego-centric/ethno-centric motives behind.
Oh. Then my bad, and I owe an apology.
My deepest apologies if I took your last sentence incorrectly.
Even UGLI picked up on it...ouch.
Yeah the video is bloked for me. I was ust commenting in a general sense about humanity. Even UGLI picked up on it...ouch.
Nice post babe. I am curious, what is your take on depression? Clinical depression not mopey teenager depression most go through as their hormones settle down and grow out of. Maybe this belongs in the longest thread, but seems to fit where this convo is going.
