What makes you think the thread is dead?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 02:45 AM

could it be the glassy, unresponsive eyes?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 02:46 AM

Have you tried setting it on fire yet, to see if that wakes the eyes up?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 02:52 AM

isn't that a fantastic idea?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 03:02 AM

Any results yet?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 03:10 AM

there's a nice warm glow, but doesn't it seem like something is missing?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 03:30 AM

Have you tried adding infants to the fire to enhance the screaming?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 03:36 AM

is that what you're in the mood for?

don't you ever just want to sip coffee in front of a raging fire?

sure, we can roast infants any time; what about the serenity of just watching the fire?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 03:40 AM

How will serenity bring proof of life?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 03:43 AM

who cares?
what if it just feels good?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 03:44 AM

Why should feeling good matter?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 03:46 AM

because the world spins and then you die...if i want to feel good in the middle of that, would you talk me out of it?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 03:51 AM

Aren't you the only one trying to talk anyone out of anything?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 03:55 AM

what do you mean?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 03:56 AM

Did I speak in a riddle?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 03:57 AM

did you?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 04:00 AM

Do you think I did?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 04:04 AM

is this type of banter really worth the effort?

wouldn't you rather ask intriguing questions?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 04:05 AM

Why don't you start by asking an intriguing question?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 04:07 AM

is there any value to admitting ones own vulnerability?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 04:09 AM

Isn't there more value in overcoming it?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 04:18 AM

what if your whole existence was defined by overcoming it;
could there be peace/comfort/security in admitting that some things are beyond control?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 04:21 AM

How do you know if some things are beyond control, if there's simply a chance that you have yet to find the correct method for controlling them?

**reiven** · 06-22-2010, 04:43 AM

isn't that the divide between being in control and being vulnerable?

is it safe to assume there is no perceived value in accepting a measure of vulnerability?

**Nikita** · 06-22-2010, 04:54 AM

Why would you make that assumption?
