variability of the human mind

[revexrevex]

Would you buy a condom if I said that it has 95% success rate, or would you buy it if I said that it has 5% failure rate

Both quantaties are equal bu perception is not

Actually...

I'm dyslexic. One of my particular characteristics is that when I'm presented with percentile marks, the remaining balance and it's implication stands right out.


When I see those anti-bacterial soap commercials (kills 99.9% of germs) all I can picture is those remaining most resiliant germs flourishing.

That's a very good example.

Reminds me of the time I bought a 3-pack of durex condoms, got ready to fuck, opened the box and found that it was *empty*. I'll never forget that one incident.

By the way, what happened to your karma?

 

[revexrevex]

i moved beyond karma into the realm of the black abyss

who the fuck stole those condoms

 

[Mike_Rojas]

I used to steal durex condoms right out of the box. I was too scared to go pay at the register.

Sweet.

I don't know what happened to those condoms, but I had a personal mission against durex (then called shiek condoms) for a few years after that. I just couldn't forget that one experience. That and skiek condoms seemed to break every now and then. Maybe the distributor stole the condoms from the boxes and sold them. Seems unlikely though.

Back on topic --- I tend to ignore small risks, as if they don't exist and I am invincible. Yet I am very critical of all of my faults and usually only think of what I have not achieved.

That is why I support my notion that happiness is simply an abcense of sadness. While accomplishments are rarely remembered, failures always stick in our minds

happiness is the ability to learn from failure and move on to greater things. life is not a balance sheet, you cant be so analytical that you compartmentalize failures and mistakes.

What is sadness?

I think it helps to aquire possessions/accomplishments.

 

[sinjinsmythe33]

sadness is a poor deadlift, service engine soon light on your dash, homelessness and backdoor covers.

 

[revexrevex]

To me sadness is a perpetual default medium of our lives. People emerge themselves in the posession/accomplishment paradigm as to form a denial bubble for themselves. This bubble gives the people meaning for their life, even though this meaning may be artificial and constructed by self gratification or fear of emotional/physical pain.

My cousin has a house, a beautiful wife, two children and is surrounded by many trusted friends. Yet him and his wife consistently ask everyone around them "What is the meaning of life". He first thought it was children, but then he admitted that they are not always the answer, nor is money or sex. So at the end it comes down to that empty feeling of going nowhere, only to be succeded by a surge of endorphins at a mere hint of pleasure, only to crash down again and repeat the vicious cycle. Its 1 am on a cold midfall night and I think I am getting carried away

 

[slobberknocker]

I'm pretty happy.

 

[revexrevex]

Revex - nice posts broly- happiness comes from within- it is projected, not received
