Philosophy Now Forum

So, I email to my psychiatrist on my relationship to this forum...



:

This video is a perfect metaphor of my interaction within this forum.

As I ride with all of you on this roller-coaster called life,

occasionally I feel an opinion rising,

something that I feel I need to share.

I hold back until I can't help it any more.

Then I blurt it out!

I reach some of you with my comments.

Some of you howl in disgust.

In the end, everyone splits.

On to the next thread.








And I stand here, draped in my opinions, wondering what just happened...




.

What did you want to happen Bill?

I want you to ask questions...

Questions like, What did you want to happen Bill?

Seemingly piercing questions like that.

Then I answer in a circular manner.

Some of you howl in disgust.

In the end, everyone splits.

On to the next thread.

Bill,
You appear to have answered your own question about what happens and not answered mine.

What did your shrink say?

.




Hang on.......let me see if I can find you a clue.






............................................







There ya go...




Now let me just see if there is a piece of levity around here.


Ummmmmmm....you will need quite a significant chunk me thinks.




Here, do this -

.................................




Let's do it together.


That's it!



Now.



Do we understand each other?





.

Not really. And it still doesn't answer my question about your puzzlement over what happened, i.e. what did you want to happen? My thought is that if you understood the answer to this question, you'd not be so puzzled as to be in the state of wondering what happened in the first place.

OK...First, you would have had to have watched the short clip, the video link, that I provided in my original post on this thread.


You can find it immediately following the words, Please watch;


If you would have watched the clip you would have understood the metaphor of this thread.


I WAS ADDING, I THOUGHT, A LITTLE LEVITY TO THIS PARTICULAR FORUM.



Perhaps I should have thrown this thread in The Lounge.


I appreciate your honesty but you may have took me a bit too literally...


My bad.

I did watch the clip first time Bill, although not for long as it was a popular one a while back so I'd seen it before.

Over-literal is a fault of mine, as I read what people say and think they mean it.

So the lounge might have made it clearer to me that you were not serious about your wonderment.

My apologies for my questions then.

.



Like I said... my bad.



No harm.



.

I didn't bat an eyelid either that I thought you went to a psychiatrist as well.

Just adding some levity to the thread
