But that's missing the point; it's not about choosing who can hurt you but about choosing hurt, and choosing how it affects you.

Nobody is perfect, I cannot sit here and say I am immune to hurt myself, but I won't pretend it's something that it is not, that it is justified??_ because it never is. My emotions do not dictate my logic.

So are you saying that you make a conscious decision as to whether on not to be hurt by others?

Yes, that is what I am saying.

Our emotions how we feel... that hits us in the beginning, now can it be controlled? Yes. Is it easy? Fuck No... do I personally do it well often? Not always.

All that you can argue that it is human nature, our natural reaction. There is a purpose for it, and I'm not saying its wrong to feel.

But after that initial shock... It's really not that hard to let it go. You can stop focusing on yourself, and what happened to you. See the situation for what it really is, and just accept it. You don't worry about what's good or bad, right or wrong, because it really doesn't matter.

And to not do that is like stubbing your toe on a rock, and being angry and guarded because rocks aren't cloud. I just accept that a rock is a rock. Now I don't kick the rock, but I can sit on it. I could build a house with it, I can do a lot of things with the rock... once I accept what it really is.

I don't gain much from avoidance and denial, but I have another choice which is just simply acceptance.

~ My logic creates emotions in a positive manner! ~

And I'm sorry but logically your statement does not stand tall, it's a contradiction within itself.

—My motives are selfless and I have no time for such people in my life.??

Is that not selfish? To only give time to one's who you believe deserve it? That's your right, and I won't say it's wrong, but don't call it selfless. Because you have expectations for what you are giving, and you choose not to give to those who do not meet them.



The subject was hurting feelings or ignoring the fact.

-Selfish to me would be getting back because it feels good.
-Selfless meaning to defuse and move on.

So I am selfish for reacting to an action?

Someone builds a fire...
"I know that"
Fire=Trap
Fire+Wood=Bigger Fire (which is what people do btw w/o caring about consequences)I'm not saying your a bad guy, or that your all that your pov is really all that selfish. But it just doesn't fall under the realm of selfless.
