my one sided line
By: Chie Theresa Fujioka on 10/21/2001; 4:00 PM

just some stuff... thank you someone for being in pain when i needed to help the most. i have so much i want to say that to write it would leave me breathless.

I am the sole survivor of my own pain, the wake of which is filled with the hollow corpses of foe which I pretended to destroy. My pain is the greatest and the hardest. All other people do not have feelings like I do, they are different. I cannot imagine them following that same path of insecurity which i myself can barely stand on. I am on one side of the one sided line. I refuse to believe in the other side.

If I were to feel the emotions of someone else, and react to them like i would for myself, I would then know that i love them. This is not the love of receiving, but the desire to be hurt with another to help them? I am the line, my side by nature, the other by desire

Wanting to know, I sought. In seeking, I believed I knew, and learned that i know nothing.

pain is necessary.

Yay! somebody is writing!!!!!! I really like this, of course I think I like just about anything that explores the nature of the human psyche (as long as its not mushy). It seems to me (or at least it does this late at night) that everybody feels like people can't be having the same feelings that they have. I think the most probable reason for this is that people can't actually feel other people's emotions, empathy seems to often be in short supply. The only way that one can perceive that others have motions is through behavior, and people can put up facades to hide their grief, their pain. Of course without pain life would truly have no meaning as people would not have purpose within their lives, to seek happiness and try to avoid and cope with the pain. However life is not entirely pain, for if one wallows in the pain refusing to let it go, one will most likely become bitter about life. Whoa I apparently become really philosphical when I'm really sleepy

To Evan: Of course people put up facades to mask their feelings. If they did not, they would become too vulnerable to everyone else, or make someone else feel even worse out of pity (NOT empathy, which, as you said, is too rare). Their facades are composed of a mask and a protective bubble. The mask hides who they are, and the bubble shields them from the truth the rest of the world offers. THey don't want to know who they are, and they don't want anyone else to know who they are, and they don't want to know who anyone else is. They like living in a world of ignorance without even knowing it.

To Chie: Pain is very good. Pain is what tells us we're alive. For every thing there is an equal and opposite reaction, and if your love doesn't equal the pain you feel with SOMETHING, then it's not right. But, that equalibrium is what makes us feel at home. Many people hide their real pain, and then later burst out in a melodramatic breakdown, exaggerating their feelings to equal out what has so long been neglected. And, no one wants to believe in the other side of the line. It's much too confusing and breaks apart everything you once knew. That other half of the line, that confusion, must be accepted in its confusion to balance out our "perfect" worlds. That's why it's there in the first place. That other side of the line is the balancing force, and we need it just like pain.

Don't worry about it, if I cared what other people thought of me I never would have run around with my underwear on my head or gargled in public or any of the other things that cause people to glance at me quizzically. If I'm sensitive, I'm sensitive. If people avoid me for being me, oh well that's their problem then. Pretty much the only concession I've made to other people is to try to avoid discussing bodily functions.

LOL Evan, youre not insensative or weird, youre just male! Thats not a bad thing, much as I love the males of our species. In any case you must be more sensative than the average one, b/c alot of them do discuss bodily functions in public, and do them too, much to my embarrassment. I have been given dirty looks from little old ladies and mums with kids for the males near me doing stuff!!!

Well, I said I try to avoid it, for some reason I tend to relate a lot of stuff to that sort of thing. I think it comes from having a heck of a lot of gas. I'm just really unihibitted for the most part with my conversation, I can talk about just about anything. My parents try to dissuade me from bodily functions and I have reluctantly agreed as it makes them happy.

Well actually I am quite weird and proud of it. I have done bodily functions in public, most notably I peed (Is that the right spelling?) into a drain at school because I was helping get prepared for the math club state convention and all the bathrooms were locked. I puked on my tent mate on a boy scout camping trip, although that was unintentional. Also I'm probably a bit more sensitive than the average male since I'm generally satisfied with my emotional state so I frequently notice when other people are upset. I like to cheer people up.
