The Blue Room

I decided to give myself a new signature everyday, to promote myself.

There are some things that every person tries so hard to ignore in this world, what are the reasons for ignoring something in the first place?

Aren't these questions more Autumn's specialty? He's the advice guy usually, in terms of morals and world peace and deep emotional insights into the meaning of life. I may be good with words, but last time I checked I'm more of the witty response guy. Either way, I suppose you did ask me this, and not Autumn, so let me take a journey into the depths of my heart.

I think that the main reason would probably be fear. We fear things that bother us, and things that we cannot find the strength to stand up against. And sometimes, as an individual, you actually don't have that strength. Let's look at one major problem: people are dying everyday, from homicides and hunger and poverty. If the whole world worked together, confronted the problem head on, then maybe we could solve it. But that would mean putting ourselves in danger, and as humans, it makes sense to avoid that. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people still donate, and still offer extra food at the food drives, but we avoid doing too much, because that would require knowing the truth. And if we know the truth, that usually means we have faced it. And facing those huge problems is really kinda scary. We just don't have enough confidence, I suppose, so we pretend things aren't so bad.

(So, how'd I do?)

That, or you've given up trying to solve the problem because it's too hard.

we cannot find the strength to stand up against.

kinda what RoyalBlue just said....

He meant it could be too hard to attempt to fix the problem. I'm saying that it could be too hard to fix the problem.

Kind of says something about what I said that he didn't understand what I was trying to say enough to get that he said the same thing I said, eh?

Also, I finally looked up how to pronounce your name. Apparently, it's something like pare-az-su-shan-may meer-ash. I also proved to myself that you actually do speak Russian, because your signature is Russian for Vortex Elite Guardian Sub-Commander but translates from Russian to English as Luxurious whirlpool Guardian south-komanduûŝij

Well, those are obviously two very different things.

[chris1726354]

Quite.

Something like that...
