Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 SORRY for overdoing on blatancy or obviousness, but here is proof from god (or gods, goddesses) and creation that contradiction is inherent in nature: Look at the title of my past email : " Its possible to be a relatively ethical smoker. (don't think its OT) " I honestly, sincerely and truly meant it to mean what I wrote, in that I didn't think the message was off topic. Now read the title of one of the replies: RE: " Its possible to be a relatively ethical smoker. (don't think its " Now if you're a linguistic person, or you read things phonetically, you could be tempted (Ooooooooh temptation!) at a glance to think that that the title spells a contradiction. ( " don't think it is " (as in an order), or " I don't think it is " (as in a statement), both of which could be explained by an abbreviation or a spelling mistake, and would imply the opposite of the main part of the title, which says smoking can be ethical). I promise i didn't mean this to happen. I put it down to God (eeeuurgh) telling me about contradiction. Of course, this could also be due to the nature of the english language, which could possibly (in italics please) have us all brainwashed into believing that life is contradictory. You might not believe me, or in me. You might agree, or have noticed, but think I'm trying to be clever in pointing this out to you. In which case: this is an expression of my interpretation of religion, and pertains to the religion topic. And personally I know that when I'm not here writing emails but making meat-eating people's heads spin using the complexity of language, all the while emphasising that i am vegan, and wish to not hurt them, or anyone, or anything; I am putting myself through turmoil for it, and for what. I wouldn't mind some friends, but the problem is a (not always so) heavy silence always surrounds me whenever I spend time with people I think I like. But that is, I think obviously, my dilemma. Existentialism too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
