Unnecessary and silly furry internet dramas really made my morning! Much laughter... I needed that.

Is it normal for me to have made up the nickname "Butter Boy" when I see Butters Shikkon?

I just call 'em "Buttface" :v

Hmmm....I wouldn't call myself a misanthrope at all. I just like joking about the poor state of humanity, but in all seriousness I wish to live my life to improve upon it. I just doubt people who spout rhetoric like "virtues are the way!" will be the ones changing anything.

And yes, this too shall pass. I think in like 50 posts or something, haha
Fine then, we'll just need some other club to have an excuse to listen to Dashboard Confessional together.

Forgiveness incorporates all other virtues; to truly forgive somebody you must possess understanding/empathy for others, patience, humility, diligence to forgive despite your anger, and kindness.
And yes, I believe that anybody can and should be forgiven, that's not to say that we shouldn't forego a punishment of just severity to their crimes.
I just can't agree with that. One is not kind if they don't forgive everyone?

Why do you feel anybody should be forgiven?

Just because you don't forgive doesn't mean you aren't kind, kindness is just a step towards forgiveness.
I believe that everybody should be forgiven because it signifies overcoming an obstacle, it is a show that you are giving the trespassers a chance to redeem themselves. Also I believe that forgiveness is making peace with what happened in the past. There are other reasons, but those are just the personal ones that come to mind.

It's more of a service to you to not burden yourself with grudges, lest you believe that those grudges keep more crimes against you from happening. However if there's only reason to believe that the one who has harmed you will never do the same again, why cling to a negative past you've had with someone in favor of a more positive future you could possibly have with them instead?

I just read that being a forgiving person has health benefits....urgh! I guess I will reconsider my stance on this issue.

Hehe.
It's always good to contemplate if there's any reasoning behind the small virtues so many people yell out before taking a stance for or against them. Through this I've found quite a few that are reasonable to stand by, and some that are not. The only thing I hate is that those who do preach these virtues do not elaborate on why they are good and true. They instead leave them in small vague and instructive sayings that they expect us to blindly follow without question.

My roommate just got rejected by a date, and I'm pretty happy about it. It's cruel, but I don't know if I'm making out well either, and it's good to know there's someone more pathetic than me. Maybe that's part of the reason I keep him around, I won't lie.

I sample things that weren't supposed to be available for sampling in the grocery store.

No regrets.

It was something from a long time ago, and that person never did face any consequences in the first place to begin seeking redemption.

I have no idea what became of that person nowadays,since I moved across the country. I'm over it now, but I don't see how I could possibly forgive or have a positive future with them. I could never begin to empathize with the reasons one would do what they did.

There has to be a limit to forgiveness... I can move on , but that doesn't mean I have to forgive them personally.

Some people have a certain, strong impact on other folk's lives. Heck, sometimes one person's influence is enough to knock someone's life onto a whole different path. For those people, forgiveness doesn't really cut it, y'know?

Forgiveness is like forgetting and moving on, but for those people the most you can do is let go of your grudge. Heh.

I've got a problem, I think? Since my last relationship ended I've been casting a whoooole lot of love around, developing a few crushes on a few of my friends. It's bothering me, 'cos I'm still sentimental for my ex, and I still feel a responsibility to them. S'like emotion and reason aren't aligned. I'm risking both the tenuous relationship with my ex, and the stability of the friendships I have.

I confess that, due to my currently simplistic and naïve worldview, as well as my fear of hurting others, and mayben even my own pride, I'm really bad at giving advice and reacting to people's distress.

I does what I says on the box.
I confess that, after looking at pictures I've taken of myself, I have a head like a fucking melon - long and fat with tapering ends.

Woe. Sorrow.

I've never liked my own looks either. My SO says I'm attractive, but I've never really agreed with her on it ever. She's like the only person who thinks the way she does about me and I've always had trouble accepting her view.

Swap the SO gender, and this is essentially my same take on my appearance.

BUT, worry not, Gibbits. We have attracted companions with our shining personalities (not sarcasm, I swear), and they grew to love us deeper than the looks go, and so we need not fret over whether or not we're perfect looking, we each have someone who loves us for who we are, not how we look. :3 As long as our SOs are happy, we're happy, right? We don't need to please anyone else but them. At least that's my take on it.

I want to look good to make myself happy, not just to attract a partner. Some people like my body type, but if I don't like it, it doesn't mean that much to me. Confession: The main reason I want to lose weight is so that I can look good while crossdressing. Right now when I look in the mirror and I picture it, it kinda turns me off.
