Yes, but Az didn't say it, she was just quoting someone who did.  For some reason this seems to be an important distinction for her, just roll with it.

"Human beings are funny. They long to be with the person they love but refuse to admit openly. Some are afraid to show even the slightest sign of affection because of fear. Fear that their feelings may not be recognized, or even worst, returned. But one thing about human beings puzzles me the most is their conscious effort to be connected with the object of their affection even if it kills them slowly within."

— Sigmund Freud

"I always wonder which is more crippling, pain or hope. To be cemented under pain can halt all desire to function. Pain is motivating to some, paralyzing to others, however hope can be equally lethal; you are stuck in an infinite waltz between the hope of finding what you long for and the fear of losing it. That dance makes it impossible to move on, find closure, or even close your eyes for a simple moment."

It does seem to say something quite basic about human nature. It strange how we almost seem scared of being happy. Because getting there requiers one to be open and voulnerable? Because one fears rejection? I don't know.. Why is life so difficult?

Reminds me of this scene from Who, beautiful writing-



MADGE: Lily and Cyril's father, my husband, is dead and they don't know yet, because if I tell them now, then Christmas will always be what took their father away from them, and no one should have to live like that. Of course, when the Christmas period is over, I shall. I don't know why I keep shouting at them.
DOCTOR: Because very time you see them happy, you remember how sad they're going to be, and it breaks your heart.
LILY [OC]: Mother, come and see!
CYRIL: Mother! You've got to see this!
DOCTOR: Because what's the point in them being happy now if they're going to be sad later.
CYRIL [OC]: Mother.
LILY [OC]: Mother, are you coming?
DOCTOR: The answer is, of course, because they are going to be sad later.

Not true. There are some assholes in the world who really needed to be told off at some point, and you missed the chance. They deserved it, the world deserved it, and you flubbed it. There is regret.

Well, there's certainly some truth to that. Although, I'm not sure you do either yourself or anyone any good by being an asshole to assholes.

Also I dislike judging people too harshly on how they act. I don't think people on the whole mean or realize the effect their actions might have on others. And most people are decent people when you get down to it. And people make mistakes, they can act stupidly and come across badly. I certainly do. Assuming the worst doesn't necessarily lead to the best places. I guess that's what I'm trying to get across. If you are generous, kind and friendly that's all you can do anything about, and if more people were like that, the world would be a better place.

Mm, ther certainly something to not being to scared to live in the moment, and enjoy it for what it is. And being scared can probably stop you from allowng things to happen you would enjoy. It's certainly a quandry.

Everyone deserves to be given the benefit of the doubt. Its like the old Highland Code, you never turn a stranger from your door or being a stranger- you judge them on how they act or what they do. Then if some baw-kicking is required its required. Nod

But you've got to give someone a chance first, as the old saying goes '
a fool and his buckie, are often the same thing!'

Which is why the Highlands is one of the best in the world for hitchhiking I think. Of course it may be 2 hours between vehicles but you'll get there eventually, even if it's in the back of a truck full of chicken shit! Nod

You know, I've found a lot of the apparent assholes in this world are practicing preemptive rejection of me on the assumption I'm going to be judging them.

I just ran into a case of this last week.  Not a story for online, but what started as a very weird and potentially dangerous situation eventually had a very positive outcome with nobody mauled by Rottweilers (especially me! Smile  )  

And that IS a problem with the true assholes -- they often have Rottweilers....or worse! pale

Many people who are acting like assholes don't realize it, and need to have it pointed out. It's best at first not to be as rude as they are, but they sometimes need it firmly pointed out that they have no right to have the world to themselves. But some will still not get it.

With Norwegians being famously restrained you may not have met so many of these people, but they are out there, and they need to be stood up to. First they need to be given a polite chance to realize they are wrong, and if they persist, they need to find out that being a jerk isn't always going to get them what they want. All too often it does...
