Taking up Se�or Magnus' call to arms, I pose this question which I recently started a journal entry with:

Which does the greater damage, betrayal of the heart or betrayal of the mind?

Perhaps later on, I'll reveal the basis behind this one. In the meantime, discuss.

Clarify the question. Define the terms. Damage to WHOM?

If in a deep [loving] relationship they are one in the same....
a business relationship is of the mind.

heart/soul, mind, and body are all in a deep [loving] relationship, to miss one isn't a good relationship anyway....

It's not a case-by-case question, Omega. I'm looking for a generalized opinion on this one.

Eventually I'll explain. But for now...I want untainted answers.

I'd say betrayal of the heart, it is the one thing that can totally ruin a person and scar them for eternity

I don't think something like this can be accurately generalized.

:::sighs::: I didn't want to do this so early on...

This is the reason I asked. Heartbreak is one thing...but betrayal or denial of trust... :::shakes head::: I don't know anymore.

Yeah.

I got almost halfway, but the beggining was sad enough, and at times it got a little too close to home, so i decided to blame it on lazyness like I always do and I didn't finish the rest, but beleive me when I say I almost know what you feel like.

Er, I'm actually slightly scared about responding, but if you have an argument with a girl, then "[telling] her that three people had offered to cast spells on her [and] two had said they'd call up hits" doesn't really seem like the sort of behaviour that's going to make her fall back into your arms.

'"You're a nice guy....kind of silly....and a bit creepy..."

"'Creepy?'"

"Yeah...you scare me sometimes...because I can't give you wnat you want."

I smiled in amazment and shook my head.'

This may be a shock to you, but the sort of people who tell other people that they've put contract killers onto them, well, they do tend to be labelled as "creepy" and "scary". Strange that.

Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :

Yeah, I'm currently in talks with her roommate; she mentioned that as well.

I didn't put out hits. People...offered. I'd never. it'd be too obvious. And spiteful.

No matter. I'm getting better now.

The very fact that you know people who would, as you say, offer, is IMHO more than a little disturbing.

I offered to cut someone into tiny pieces with a pizza cutter and feed them through the oven ...

But that doesn't mean I would do it.

It sounds like she wasn't ready. But these disputes can't be solved by intellectual "thrust and parry", which you seemed to realize in the end of your entry.

I couldn't tell how serious you were when you asked her to marry you in that chatting session, but she might've gotten a tad scared there, even if you were joking.
Maybe then she realized she must withdraw her commitment to you and place it in M instead. Maybe that's what you felt.

I know what it's like to wake up and find out you've been barking up the wrong tree. One lesson I've learned is that you must be totally earnest and rightforward with girls, or you might end up on the "friend"-train...

Don't kill me, I'm charming!

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Tim's right. Even mentioning it was a bad idea.

"I have friends who offered to kill you! I told them not to!"

"Oh. That's cool then. Fancy a sandwhich?"

Most people (especially people who aren't passengers of the mad-train), can't just casually brush-off having their friends know killers.

Oh, she's very MUCH a member of the mad train. Has a commuter pass, in fact.

Her roommate IMed me last night; odd that happened after I stopped thinking about it all. Answers were gained, theories were expounded upon, IF clauses were closed out. A good time was had by all.

You're all correct on most points in some respects, but I've not the time to handle all the dynamics here.

But...we're digressing. That situation is simply the catalyst for me asking the question. Forget the events in my life that triggered it. I have my own reasons. I'm curious about the thoughts of my fellow geeks, married or single, attached to personages or not.

FLY, my pretties!! FLY!!
