I am amused when the unambiguous try to claim validity over the ambiguous. Well actually, I'm disgusted, but I'm amused when the ambiguous is me, because I don't let up. It's amazing what can be achieved by logical deduction with no assumptions.


Person 1's Facebook Status:
No matter what boy says he's falling for you, says he's in love with you, and no matter how much of yourself you give to a boy, at the end of the day, you will still be all alone. </3

Comments upon status:

Person 2:
Then you die and rot in the ground. God's dead and we're alone. :)

Person 3:
Well someones goin to hell eh <Person 2> :)

Person 1:
wow. <Person 2> you always have the nicest comments to wrote back :) lol

Person 2:
Your imaginary friend? Because it makes sense in the context of nonsense.

Me:
The key word in that maxim is "says". You know what? **** it, you're right. But the whole point of love is to help each other understand that you'll always be alone and to secure each other with that idea. Granted you've presumably been through this where the security comes from broken promises but consider that that isn't really being comfortable with yourself, it's being comfortable with yourself and them, but that as apparent is not the reality, as you say at the end of the day etc. etc. but I would like to optimistically propose that it's possible to be assured of yourself and to assure others out of ambiguity (that is, no promises).

Person 3:
Wow u put too much thought into life. Maybe its cause a relationship is built on lust... Cause marriage is built on love

Person 4:
Well you said boy. Maybe you should either try a man, or be a lesbian.

Person 3:
Lmao this is that highschool lust hehe lol funfun where every break up is the end of the world

Me:
I resent the implication that preadolescent males are unable to be responsible, but all in good humour, and of course you were probably meaning metaphoric matureness or whatever.

Person 5:
You still so young, a couple of years more and everything falls in perspective. You have your own self since birth, you are never alone!!

Person 3:
Its just proven fact a teenagers brain isnt yet developed enough to comprehend and deal with a lot of things as well an adult. Their minds are continuously changing due to hormone embalance.

Me:
Nothing is proven. When such a fact is released, it is as a result of a study, and in a world like today, it can be pretty well assumed (though not unambiguously) that the assessor did not have universal conscious and thus it cannot be assumed that they took everything into account, and thus it cannot be agreed that the fact is proven.

I like to presume that such hormone balance in teenage minds are not a result of them being teenage, but other variable factors that incidentally recur in teenagers that these studies assess, not out of chance, but out of a third (or perhaps second) party moderation upon them, whether deliberate or indeliberate.

Incidentally, I'm 17.

Person 3:
Its because a teenage brain is not fully done growing and maturing. It most times hasnt also gone through and had enough life experience.

Person 4:
I observe that in general older people are more mature, but there are plenty of immature adults as well. I think what <Person 3> is saying backs that up.

Me:
The way one acts is what they understand to be the best strategy to tackle what they understand is coming their way. Finding this strategy is not subject to improvement through time. It is incidental that one finds a strategy, and time cannot insure. One is able to extrapolate what new experiences will consist of with understanding of past experience (thus justifying such concepts as "not being surprised" and, with extensive understanding "fortune telling"), so, from time, only averages liable to inconsistency can be measured. And thus it is possible, whether only theoretically in any given circumstance or not, to be as enlightened and mature as any given standard at any age.

Well impulse control is determined by the frontal lobe, which is the last part of the brain to develop..

However, I know someone who is 28, and unless there was an accident I was never told about, I think his frontal lobe never fully developed, because he has no impulse control.

I know this probably sounds like I'm being a smart a s s, but, really, I am not.
He is the sort of guy that will be talking to you, and then go run and chase the ice cream truck.
I've learned alot about behavior by observing him...

But, anyway, I'm not really sure what your debates are boiling down to.
The fact that we all end up alone?

Well, lonliness is the human condition.
That's my thought, anyway.
You are alone in the journey through the birth canal, alone in all your private sufferings, and ultimately, alone in death.

Best to hope for is some company along the way, no?

....then hope that your company/partner doesn't run off with someone else....

There are no guarantees, but it's great to know that your're thinking about life on a deeper level Cardinal Arbiter.

Always look after your mental/physical/emotional/spriritual health - that's the best gift you can give yourself.

Tell them that they should all just stfu, God doesn't exist, hail Satan, abortions for all yadda yadda.

It's really no use arguing with them. They'll wake up in time (I'm assuming these are high school kids).

You have to speak in simple terms for simple people. Otherwise they just think you're a pompus ass. And they may not be wrong.
