[Jords]

Probably shoulda stuck this in that quote thread, hmmm wherever thats buried.

[CaraRawr]

Off topic but OHAY 30STM in your lastfm bar. <3

[Stacey.]

i don't even get that quote

[BOOSH]

I understand this sooo much..

[Photon]

That quote makes no sense.

[Beastie]

That quote makes no sense.

The ones worth being let down for.

[lily.]

It makes perfect sense.

[lily.]

This could be the new quote thread.

I like this one: "Listen to your heart, not the voices in your head"

[Shaun]

It makes sense it's just very melodramatic and blah.

[Photon]

No, it doesn't make sense. It sounds great for cliché quotes and romantic comedy plots, but relationships aren't supposed to be about suffering and hardship in general. I have no idea where people got this idea that sticking through misery is the height of romance.

[lily.]

It's about the good outweighing the bad.

If you expect every relationship in your life to be straight forward and free of drama/hurt, then you are in for a big shock.

Yeah.. truth is.. "everybody is going to hurt you". Seems a bit cynical.. yes! Sometimes we need to learn to be strong. Train our brains to be positive if we are left all alone.

Exactly.

The quote makes perfect sense.

[Jack_]

It baffles me how people can't understand the quote. Think people, think. And register it.

[Twilight]

How can people not understand it LOL

[Photon]

I just think the whole idea of gauging the worth of a relationship on how willing you are to suffer through the bad is just absurdly melodramatic and juvenile.

Also, Bob Marley is boring. Don't pat yourselves on the back, this isn't about not getting what some stoned dude thought about love. I understand what he is trying to say and I think it is profoundly moronic.

[Stacey.]

i still don't understand :|

[Twilight]

i still don't understand :|
Can't you read?

[lily.]

It's not juvenile in the slightest.

It's immature to think otherwise. We don't live in happyville.

[Stacey.]

Can't you read?

hmm. how did i get here?

[Photon]

It's not juvenile in the slightest.

It's immature to think otherwise. We don't live in happyville.

Who said we did? These are some compelling arguments, I must say.

I am going to further clarify that I agree with the part that everyone is going to hurt you. This is true and Bob Marley deserves no praise for essentially pointing out the sky is blue. The latter part of that quote about suffering? That is just dumb. I've been hurt and hurt countless people. A person is not worth any suffering on my part, ever. I'm sorry, but I've seen way too many physically and/or emotionally abusive relationships hinging themselves on the whole idea of being worth suffering through. What a ridiculous idea.

That's not what the quote is saying, though. Where does it say that relationships should be judged soley on suffering? You seem to be taking it far too litteraly and applying it to every relationship in existence. It's just a quote.

Bob's the man.

You really are taking this way too seriously. Or yourself. I'm not sure which.

He's not saying we should stay with the person who kicks the sh*t out of us.

He's not saying we should stay with the person who makes us miserable.

He's saying that everyone hurts us, in some way... (which you agree with) .. and that we have to decide who is worth having in our lives.

We can't simply discard everyone who hurts us or we would be alone. We have to decide who to keep and who to discard based on how much they make us suffer (i.e hurt us), weighed up against how much they give in terms of love, friendship, support, etc.

Have to admit, after listening to some of his cover for Scott today, he really needs to brush up on using the faders and not crashing the vocals of songs.

i get that first quote a little bit now.

[Stacey.]

"FEARLESS' is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, FEARLESS is having fears. FEARLESS is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, FEARLESS is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. FEARLESS is falling madly in love again, even though you've been hurt before. FEARLESS is walking into your freshmen year of high school at fifteen. FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want all over again... even though every time you've tried before, you've lost. It's FEARLESS to have faith that someday things will change. FEARLESS is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can't breathe without them. I think it's FEARLESS to fall for your best friend, even though he's in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for the things they'll never stop doing, I think it's FEARLESS to stop believing them. It's FEARLESS to say "you're NOT sorry," and walk away. I think loving someone despite what people think is FEARLESS. I think allowing yourselfto cry on the bathroom floor is FEARLESS. Letting go is FEARLESS. Then, moving on and being alright, that's FEARLESS too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after. That's why I write these songs. Because I think love is FEARLESS."

-Taylor Swift.

[Raph]

great quote.

[Stu]

The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok... But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
