The thread of comfortable truths

[Jim-a-Lim]

My comforting truth is that though the world we live in is full of hard things, that's our opportunity to offer it back something that is worth having. A simple kind gesture out shadows anything horrific this world could ever present us with. For every bad thing there ever happens someone gives a damn enough to be a samiritan on the phone, to help a man in the street by giving him a sandwich you know, and doesnt that make you feel so much more than hearing about some person in the news who's lost there life. Thinking along these lines, take our soldiers they happily give there lives to geniunely try and serve other people, not just us but where ever they are.

Sure our world is tough place at times, but it's made so much richer by people willing to shine in its darkness.

Now matter how bad music gets, there will always be good small bands.

My girlfriend has seen the darkest recesses of my mind, and yet still loves me. That's my comforting truth. =)

Lucky you. Mine is the complete opposite (Actually she hasn't seen the darkest, just my minor darkness...

 

[HereForFreeFood]

When ever I'm depressed I say to myself "I'm not dead" and it never fails to cheer me up... that's not weird is it?

 

[LewsTherin]

Just because you don't know love right now doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Ah cheer up, there'll be someone out there who is like you/would accept you for who you are.
I mean, there's even psychopathic serial killer couples (not that I'm saying you're like that).

Well, that almost cheered me up, sorta...

 

[brunothepig]

I thought it appropriate. Love this man.
Comfortable truth. Tim Minchin exists. In fact, music exists.
I wouldn't be who I am if I hadn't been introduced to Heavy Metal.

 

[Keepitclean]

These comforting truths aren't anywhere near as comforting than the uncomfortable truths...

 

[crazyguy668]

No matter how absurdly fucked-up you are, there is someone out there who is equally weird who would happily love you for who you are.

What if there is an odd number of people in the world?

Wow, way to go man, you just made me uncomfortable!

(also, according to American English, you misspelled judgment in you name. Haha, take that, naysayer!)

I used the British version which has exsisted longer than american english. Ha, take that spelling nazi!

The Nazis would have destroyed Britian if America hadn't decided to save their butts.

Haha, take that, British lexicon enthusiast!

Nah we took out the Japanese but we were a small part in taking out Germany at the time.
Still good come back

Actually, I hate to butt in, but that man who said the Nazi's would have destroyed Britain if it weren't for the 'merkins?

FAIL. Pure and simple. The Brits endured the battle of Britain and came out with the superior air force. The Nazis were in no position to invade after that. By the time the Nazis would have been able to invade Britain, they got curb stomped by Russia. America, contrary to popular belief, didn't win that war, nor did they save Britain. Russia did.

FAIL.Pure and simple. The main reason that the Russians were able to get to Berlin as fast as they did is because Germany was fighting a two(and near the end 3)front war in Italy and on the east. The Russians could have still won if America kept sending supplies their way, but it would have taken a lot longer and there is a chance they could have lost too. if it went good for the Russians, they could have won at the very least a year later, probably longer, in which time Britain would be nearly completely destroyed by v1 rockets, and then Germany could still have had a chance to win with their new tiger 2s and jet fighters which both came to late to make a difference in the war. and if the Brits and Canadians tried to land on Normandy, they still would have lost. in WW2 they failed hard on their respective beaches, partly because of commanders and partly because Cromwells(the main British tank) could not even pierce tiger 1s. the extra German soldiers stopping(that in real life were fighting Americans) the Brits would have most likely proven too much, and they would have failed. if America had played no part at all and sent no supplies to Britain/Russia, there is almost no chance that they would have pulled out a win. so, contrary to the belief of people who like to say America sucks and played no part in ww2 because they don't like that they did play a major part in world history.


sorry for the long post, but I'm into history and hate when people say that

 

[SimuLord]

WRONG.
No woman, in the history of mankind, has ever been romantically interested in somebody who installs 1960s computer operating systems for the purposes of amusement.
I'm going to stand by that.

1960s computers? I think that sounds pretty ahsum, love retro stuff, why wouldn't other woman like that?

The emulation software used to install OS/360 is maintained by this guy [http://www.tronguy.net/]. As you can see, it's very suspect.

For gods' sake, Richard, she practically jumped right on top of you. I for one believe that any other Irish Escapists (why hello, Furburt!) should do everything in their power to ship this couple. FOR SCIENCE!

No matter how absurdly fucked-up you are, there is someone out there who is equally weird who would happily love you for who you are.

What if there is an odd number of people in the world?

Then there are three equally weird people, not two. There being two people just as weird as you does not negate the statement that there is someone just as weird as you.

As for the living being in the minority, I think we're overtaking the dead.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

You aren't dead. Billions of other people are. And that means you're in the minority, and thus, a rebel. Everybody loves a rebel. Especially a rebel against death. You are awesome, aren't you?

*****, I am stealing that quote, but just out of curiosity: did you create that comforting truth yourself, or take inspiration/perhaps STEAL from a certain person?

I thought of it as soon as I saw the thread, just took me a few minutes to get the wording right.

Oh, you. Impressive
Not to insult, but because I'm curious - What's your social life like and your situation regarding the amount/type of friends you have?

Erm, OT: I feel too insecure to follow-up from Ironic Pirate's comfortable truth.

 

[Jedamethis]

You there. You, reading this. No, not you, you!

I like you.

It works better if you put I like You.

1. I really do love you though.
2. Honestly
3. Seriously
4. Somebody can always help you, but only if you tell them.
5. I promise to help. Even if I can't help much, I can at the very least make you feel better.

 

[Ace of Spades]

The world is a diverse place, and in such a diverse place there will always be friends and lovers.

This post makes me think of In My Life by The Beatles

A few close friends, a fair amount of friends, and lots of acquaintances.

Why?

 

[hecticpicnic]

(that kevin smith will one day die(how do you do that crossing out thing(shit i just ruined the joke)))
that at any time i can go to a different counrty start a new life and travel the world
i guess freedom

 

[hecticpicnic]

1: Slender Man isn't real and he never will be.
2: No matter who you are, no matter what you believe, no matter what war you fought in, and no matter what your sexuality is, God loves you and will take you in to heaven (What you do on earth is where it gets you)

So yoursaying my actions here effect it, yet fighting in wars is always fine... Thise kinda contradict, also it depends what side your on nazis aand taliban are definately going to hell (assuming there is one).

For me the truth is all the people I hate will eventually die.

don't hate the player hate the game

 

[Distorted Stu]

Whenever somethign weird or really shitty happens to you, and you think "This could only happen to me". There is a good chance its happening to someone else at the exact same time.

Expanding on this idea, at this very moment, there could be someone thinking about this sort of thing. They may raise there hand now and attempt to do an epic long distance air-five (since you're reading about it after all). Air-five them now. NOW.

With a snip snip here

And a snip snip there

I just love you [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK2tWVj6lXw].

Well, if you're reading this, you're more privileged than about 80% of the world. On the other hand, that's also a bit of a downer...

I dunno, does it count?
