purple_shadows Posted October 19, 2004 Report Posted October 19, 2004 You can’t have pleasure with out pain. The greater the suffering, the greater the gain. Nothing lasts forever. In times all things will end. Life wasn’t meant to be easy. Wait until tomorrow. The good will come again.
BlackCagedHeart Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 I love it but I disagree....I've waited lifetimes with nothing but pain and scars to show for it. BlackCagedHeart <3's joo
Gryphon Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 purple shadows... I like. I don't know that I agree 100%, but I certainly agree with the essence of what you're saying here. BlackCagedHeart... for what it's worth...
Gyrfalcon Posted October 22, 2004 Report Posted October 22, 2004 I think it's been debated somewhere or another that without sorrow and pain, there would be no way to know joy and happiness - without the contrasting emotions, we would have no way to determine the state of joy or happiness. Personally, I believe that its possible to have pleasure without pain, and I've never been fond of the 'no pain, no gain' phrase. But that's just me. Points aside, I like the rhyming scheme of your poem and I'll note that your Weenie award has been removed, congratulations!
purple_shadows Posted October 25, 2004 Author Report Posted October 25, 2004 Gyrfalcon- I don't really like the phrase "no pain, no gain" either. Which uis why that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. "the greater the suffering, the greater the gain" refers to the ability to feel such and inteense moment iof happiness when you've suffered for so. It has more meaning when you've been through so much, and as such you are less likely to take it for granted. It is possible to have pleasure without pain, I'm just saying that it is more appreciated that way. Blackcaged heart- I know it's hard to believe, but it really truely does happen. Those that know me know just how much crap I've been through and still go through everyday, but we're both young and i still have hope. You'll just hae to trust me when I say that it will get better.
Orlan Posted October 31, 2004 Report Posted October 31, 2004 Orlan, Elder of....yeah we all know the titles, anywho, Orlan walks through a mingling of people. His giant "Weenie Stamper of Death, Doom Destruction and Musical Numbers" still slung over his shoulder, dripping ink as he walked. He hand his face dug deep into a list on a piece of vellum, or parchment....or something that can be written on (I was at Hannibal's house the other day....I wonder if you can write on skin this well). He mumbled to himself as he walked up to purple_shadows. "Hmm....Pria...Pron.....Puls.....Purple_Rain! Here we go!" Orlan says triumphiantly. Purple_Shadows gives him a strange look as he rolls the stamper off his shoulder. Purple_Shadows takes a few steps back. "Nonono, I hear about Finnius. You keep that thing away from me!" Orlan, looking sad and dejected gives a little pout. "Aww...well, I guess. If that's what you-" Suddenly Orlan strikes a pose (not unlike Saturday Night Fever) and points above and behind purple_shadows. "OH MY! WHAT IN THE WORLD COULD THAT BE?" Purple_shadow spins instinctively to look at whatever it was Orlan was pointing at, leaving an open back that Orlan takes advantage of. With a mighty swing the stamper smacks purple_shadows in the back leaving the fabulous seal: ...And Orlan walks off for another one....snickering with evil snickers or snickerness (Packed with Peanuts, Orlan Satisfies!) as he sees the next name is Zool.
