People reply to positive-oriented threads in the spirit the OP asked.

Instead of circumventing their request by posting criticism rephrased to sound like something positive.

I do that every day, I'm a consummate daydreamer and I live in my own world. It's great until reality comes crashing through.

My fantasies are usually very elaborate, I've even written outlines and made excel spreadsheets detailing the workings of my inner world, including the politics, social structure and various characters involved. If anyone else ever read them I'd be quite embarrassed.

For me it's not so much making the world the way I want it be, but rather escaping to a completely different world entirely. What I want out of life is not something reality could ever provide, and I live in a near constant state of Sehnsucht.

The thing is, it would be the same world for everybody (except for a small minority of people) because most people want the same things.

I mean general things: world peace, no crime, no poverty, no starvation, no disease, abundance of all necessities, clean air, living without fear ... things like that.

My perfect World:

1. Batman is real.
2. Everyone likes cats.
3. No more terrible pop music, like Justin Bieber and all that rubbish that's autotuned.
4. Sweden, having remembered they acually have a word for buttermilk, get off their arses and MAKE IT.
5. More cowbell. In fact, ALL the cowbell.
6. International beefs settled by drag queens and/or sumo wrestlers.
7. No "big 5" style hunting, and GOOD GODS no "canned" hunting whatsoever.
8. The planet is hunky dory! Nothing on the edge of extinction, no pollution, YAY!!!
9. Safe teleportation is cheap and glitch free!
10. The baby sun in Teletubbies is rightly identified as actual satan and run out of town.

Hostel: Part II gets deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and is selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Jazz and PC Music become the mainstream. The rise in popularity of soothing jazz and happy PC Music makes everyone mellow out, and this marks the end of war and poverty.

lol, I'll be surprised if anyone isn't wearing a T-shirt right now.

I love wearing my overcoats/trench coats. I live in dog breath the state (Louisiana), and
we weren't privileged with a winter this year, so I didn't even take mine out of the closet.

this is gonna sound kinda bad, but i feel like half the time my ideal world would be i wake up and everyone just leaves me the hell alone. ha. no obligations. no one counting on me, yet happy to see me, if i do come around.

This hits home.

And it's a double-edged sword because, for some, simply experiencing peace and solitude is not a fantasy outside the realm of probability, but an actual reality (and only those in situations where they have never really been able to experience it can truly appreciate it. What I mean is, it pains me to hear anyone complain of quiet or boredom or loneliness).

With my own situation, I'd give almost anything for 1 week of living in complete solitude - with no clock to mind, no phone plugged in, no calls for help and assistance, etc.

When you're dead, you'll have it for eternity.

Just like in the Army:
"You can sleep when you're dead!"

Captain Steel

03-29-17, 05:43 PM

It probably won't be very peaceful solitude (I think?).... but.... you will get that kind of solitude eventually.

Why do you think it wouldn't be peaceful?
It seems it would either be nothing (which is peaceful, although you won't have any consciousness to realize it) or heaven - where you could appreciate it.
Or the other place, which we're told is anything but peaceful, but now I'm going way off topic.

Makes me want to resurrect your threads about A Million Reasons to Live... or Die (or whatever they were called). ;)

Captain Steel

03-29-17, 06:00 PM

If it's nothing, that's not peaceful at all. It's... nothing! And to me, the thought of being nothing isn't peaceful. People always think dying and being totally erased and not existing is "wonderful" - I sure as Hell don't. I don't even like going to sleep and not being around for awhile, but at least there's dreams and knowing you'll most likely wake up. Peace is good stimulation to the senses and good interaction. Pain is ... a void. A loss of those things.

I getcha. It's a somewhat paradoxical argument.

It's kind of like if you had a choice to never have to go to the bathroom again or have every dump be the most pleasurable feeling of relief (which some are). ;)

But seriously, for some people I've known who were suffering, imagining that death for them might simply be "nothing" seemed a much better, more peaceful alternative to what they were experiencing. Even though they may not realize it, it would be an end to pain and fear - and their suffering in life was a palpable energy to all those near it. The pain, the worry, the fear was like a spreading disease. And those of us left behind could rest easier thinking that even if death was only a lack of consciousness, that would be much better than what had been.

1 - People actually saying what they mean instead of what is deemed correct; or accepted as politically correct
2 - People actually acting for a greater good rather then to satisfy their own hidden personal interests
3 - Everyone feeling it's their duty to take care of where they live and not just those who are payed to do it.

Being under the covers, in a bed, feeling comfortable, is wonderful. It's everything else after that until wakey wakey time that I don't like.

cause you're worried you'll never wake up? or because you're scared to miss something?

does worrying about sleeping ever fux with your dreams?

I dream of a world were incompetence, manipulatation and being "fake" is not rewarded. For example, person A is terrible at their job, person A sucks up to the manager, person A manipulates the manager and pretends to like the manager and gets the promotion over person B who works hard and values himself/herself enough not to grovel at the feet of another human.

No politics. Everyone works off of common sense. Barter, trade for services, crafts, art. Architecture is ambitious but not trying to huff the ozone.

Because of common sense and respect, no politicians are needed and there are no wars. Differences sorted by some light debate and the occasional bi.tch slap. People generally communicate and work together to create the society and how it operates, like how it is now, except, like, way better.

Everyone uses their unique qualities to contribute and receive what they want/need out of life, so everyone is fulfilled, can sleep well at night and are happy in their lives.

Cynicism is treated like a cold with some remedies. It never causes an outbreak and infects the entire population.

And no, I'm not a commie or Soc.:p

Which reminds me..no labels, no parties. No such thing as a lib or rep...no such thing as a black and white person of heart and mind. Since the person is a unique and sophisticated creature, no labels, no identifying with labels...that way, there are no temptations to sink to the depths of the ego animal who gets rocks off at the suffering of others and is built on the hatred seed of competition.

In other words

The world is fine the way it is. We're still living, feeling, thinking blobs of meat with a conscience and a past.
