Madam_Patella Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 So... the first half of today hasn't been awesome for me and I thought I'd do something that might help other people with their bad days. Hopefully, this will be a place where we can post ridiculous pictures, videos, stories, etc. in the hopes that it'll make someone's day just a tiny bit more bearable. Need to vent some frustration/talk about someone you miss/just need to distract yourself for a while? Feel free to post here or just read. I just ask that no one put anyone down by saying that their particular problem isn't worth being upset over. Any form of suffering is worthy of acknowledgement whether it be that you were a few minutes late to something important or you just lost someone that you love, because this moment, this very instant is our reality. We can't change something that happened a minute or a year ago and we can't control what will happen anytime in the future, but we can try to ease the pain of the present.Well THAT went from a quick request to a sermon in about two minutes... oops. Anyways, I'll start of with some GIFs featuring small animals. Did I take it too far? Sorry. To sum it up: 6 Quote Link to comment

Madam_Patella Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 On the aim of science.- What? The aim of science should be to give men as much pleasure and as little displeasure as possible? But what if pleasure and displeasure were so tied together that whoever wanted to have as much as possible of one must also have as much as possible of the other- that whoever wanted to learn to "jubilate up to the heavens" would also have to be prepared for "depression unto death"? And that is how things may well be. At least the Stoics believed that this was how things were, and they were consistent when they also desired as little pleasure as possible, in order to get as little displeasure as possible out of life. (When they kept saying "The virtuous man is the happiest man," this was both the school's eye-catching sign for the great mass and a casuistic subtlety for the subtle.) To this day you have the choice: either as little displeasure as possible, painlessness in brief- and in the last analysis socialists and politicians of all parties have no right to promise people more than that- or as much displeasure as possible as the price for the growth of an abundance of subtle pleasures and joys that have rarely been relished yet. If you decide for the former and desire to diminish and lower the level of human pain, you also have to diminish and lower the level of their capacity for joy. Actually, science can promote either goal. So far it may still be better known for its power of depriving man of his joys and making him colder, more like a statue, more stoic. But it might yet be found to be the great dispenser of pain. And then its counterforce might be found at the same time: its immense capacity for making new galaxies of joy flare up. - The Gay Science by Friedrich Nietzsche Quote Link to comment
