I'm worried, AlisaD. (Well, I'm not really. Just way of expression.) You sound like your prone to getting addicted to things. Have you tried drugs before?
Arm Cut off. If you experience desperation and self pity, what would you then think about? I mean, by your own choice not by your instinct.
Stomach ache. It stays for a day. It's quite painful. What do you think of doing?
There is pain which is negative. There is comfort which is positive. Do we not work for both? Particularly, do we not often work against pain? Don't we eat because we feel discomfort in hunger. For comfort, maybe the process has less work. But I ask you about pain first.
You believe all instincts are helpful? Do they not create needless anxiety? Do they not influence your judgement with fear? Are they not the source of wars? Of Greed? Of Vanity?
Of all the wicked things in the world?
Btw, you remind me of this game.
