Hey, goblin! So I was reading Albert Einstein quotes (because what else do I do when I'm eating fried chicken?), And many of his quotes are very fun to read. One of my favorites is paraphrased as "Logic can get you from A to B, but imagination can take you everywhere." I had an inkling of this when I was little and my brother and teachers would always bows that since he knows math so well, he must be so intelligent. And my dad would always tell me that if you know math, then you know the secret to the world, and if you're bad at math, then you won't be successful in life. And with how creative I was with all the things I was creating and the stories I would create and the universe as I would make from scratch, despite me not being very good at math, I really started to question if that was even true. So to have the legitimate scientist like Einstein, one of the best, saying that imagination can take you everywhere versus simplistic "logic" that you learn Makes sense to me, makes me feel like my years of suffering and feeling like I wasn't intelligent enough was nonsense! "AHA YOU DOUCHEBAGS, YOU GUYS WERE ALWAYS WRONG SOMEHOW!!!" Compensate for all my years of ill confidence.

Of course, ironically, I teach kids math now, but that's beside the point. I STILL SAY MATH ISN'T EVERYTHING. what was the point of me ranting to you about this? I'm fairly sure many of us on this website no matter everything. Yet I still want to somehow exclaim it out there for anybody who's a little bit on and off... Math and snowing certain subjects isn't everything, especially if you're good and specialize in other skill sets to help you succeed in your own way. There's no definite version of success at all! And if a teacher or parent or someone out there claims that they can determine when you're actually considered successful, how do they actually know? I think only you get to determine how well you've live your life and if you lived a life of value. Also, people can't tell you that your life is valuable. Only you can determine that. It's based off of your actions. You can let other people persuade you... which makes me feel a little bit guilty that Einstein saying that imagination is extremely important means a lot because he's a famous scientist. If he wasn't a famous scientist, I think his word should still mean something.

ANYWYASSSS, I came on to your profile because I saw an Albert Einstein quote I don't really understand, and totally stereotypically, I went to my poet friend, who all obviously understands the beauty of words, and potentially the secret side peripheral meanings of these words. Do you understand what the heck this means?

"Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

Albert Einstein"

^ I read this, and I thought, okay. What people consider "education" is that generic idea of pushing kids along something useful. But here, Albert Einstein is saying that very education is what is left once you have forgotten the rest? Then what is the rest? Is the rest things like knowing how to enjoy your childhood? Or is he saying that education is what is good? He's saying that the good version of education is what you keep with you once you decide to forget all of the redundant "learning" (repetitive homework, literature, etc) from school? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS!

Goblin, when is the summer officially starting for you, and you start cutting grass in the UK? (I wanted to know if you're interested in joining a 24 comic paces and 24 hours challenge with me and my friends in the summer, that we're planning? But doesn't have to be 24 comic pages for everyone. If some people are a poet, they would make 24 poems in 24 hours. If you're a photographer, you would take and render 24 iconic pictures and similar theme in 24 hours, etc)

Also, Spring semester for the University is almost over, and I've been doing a lot of marketing work, so one thing to know about marketing is that you almost always have to have a photo release form. It's actually almost gotten so so freaking annoying constantly be stopped from posting a social media post because of the photo release form. Even if the people are so obviously okay with having their photo taken and some of them are even like "ohhhhh, going to be famous on social media or YouTube!", if you don't have every single person fill out their own individual photo release form somehow in person or electronically, they cannot be posted publicly under the company or whatever affiliation. Especially for minors. You have to get minor's parents to sign the photo release form for them. And this photo release issue has been hovering over me like a freaking annoying black cloud. So much that I'm sitting on my computer gas, just eating Greek yogurt with nuts, and I looked down at my dog, and the thought just pops up in my head:

"How dare you take a picture of my dog. He didn't sign a photo release form!"

I am glad it was you I chose to talk to about this!

I hugged myself and teared up a little reading your note, and it helped so much, because it tackled, with words, the insecurities I had that I was bringing up to people the same way....but people did not get it. I was asking them to affirm if there was some truth to the insults (I wanted a friends' affirmation that I was allowed to have friends despite these people telling me I was trash), and they were making social commentaries about how they tackle such issues instead of answering my personal question. Sometimes, you just need to talk to someone who is still somewhat positive and in tune with emotions of a person instead of the event itself. I am happy you exist on DA to talk to.

You write fairly concisely as well. 

If I could write a poem on the most important thing you said, it is:

I do not give one

iota

of a percent

of a fraction

of a FUCK WHAT YOU THINK

^ Read that out multiple times because it was funny. 

Going to keep random bits on my planner. Going to go eat some pho. Feel free to talk to me about anything (as I promptly ignore you for months, yurp). BTW, submit more poems/work!

Edit: Undelete my comment because I do not care who reads about my issues, BECAUSE IT CAN HELP THEM IF THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. And if they want to start a debate about sexual predators because they do not agree, for example, IMMA OPEN UP THE CAN OF WORMS AND SHOVE IT UP THEIR THROAT

Laugh-Butts [2018-11-27 21:12:30 +0000 UTC]

OK, GOBLIN. I NEED SOMEONE'S OPINION ONCE AND FOR ALL. 

I HAVE 2 GOOD FRIENDS. ONE OF THEM, A BOY, SPIES ON THE OTHER FRIEND WITH A CAMERA. SHE BREAKS FRIENDSHIP WITH HIM. BOTH OF THEM ARE DEPRESSED. I HELP BOTH OF THEM THROUGH THEIR ISSUES AND THERAPY TO GET THEM TO RECOVER!

I thought everything was nice and dandy, and then years later, 2 ex-friends of mine (ex because one was too clingy and the other was too toxic) both told me around the same time (in different events without being associated to each other) that I was a morally ambiguous person because I decided to console and help the person who spied on my friend. I told them "I helped both parties", and they said "You took sides by helping him, so you are saying what he did was okay", and I said "Helping someone does not mean you agree with what they did. The person who counsels and helps someone through their issues is not the perpetrator themselves." 

And one of them said "I don't know if I can be associated to someone who can be so flexible with these type of things."

And the other one said "Sometimes, I wonder if you're autistic. You sure show the signs of it. You have no empathy and you get no social situations. If I was the friend who was spied on, I would say "Fuck you". And she said this while she was staying with me for free while on vacation in her home town! 

And I was so appalled (I did not know they even thought this way until they told me. I did not realize this was even an issue). To me, accusing someone of rape because they are the spouse or friend of someone who raped is ridiculous. Not just that, but people are more layers than one. So why tell someone 'I can't be friends with someone" because insert a part of them? There are so many aspects of these ex-friends I have allotted into their personality, and I have been open minded enough to listen. The fact people develop such a red tape and ill-tolerance for things that they would illogically blame someone not even associated and demand they change what they do for the sake of the friendship....that is just weak. I am glad they are not my friends anymore. They are like dead acquaintances! One of them, I even lent money to, and they did not return it back yet. Says something about these people, yes.

But I am all about "Just because someone who is lame says something, it does not make what the person said wrong/lame." So I listened to their words, and I worried for some days afterwards, "Well, golly, maybe they are a little right. I did hang out a lot with mentally disabled people in middle and high school. That does not meant I am mentally disabled, but I do understand them more than others. I am usually the one in class to raise my hand and think differently. What if there is something inherently wrong with me. Am I saying something that I do not know is wrong, while everyone else knows it is?" I just do not want to push anything off the table. The one who called me autistic and "lacking empathy" has a Clinical Lab Science degree like me too. And she has bipolarism, so I feel she understands some mental illness. 



BUT MY EMPATHY IS EXACTLY WHY I HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE LESS HELPED. I LISTEN TO PEDOPHILES, CRIMINALS, THE MENTALLY ILL (LIKE MY DEAR DEAR EX-FRIENDS), AND THOSE WHO ARE DOWN GRADED BECAUSE OF THEIR "MISTAKES" (I PUT THAT IN QUOTATIONS BECAUSE OBJECTIVITY SHOWS ME HOW BIAS PEOPLE ARE TO WHAT IS A MISTAKE TO THEM AND A SUCCESS TO OTHERS. WHAT ABOUT THE INDIVIDUAL? WHAT ABOUT THEIR OPINIONS, THOUGHTS, AND WANTS? HAVE THEY CONSIDERED THAT? AREN'T THEY THE ONES WITH LESS EMPATHY? IT'S LIKE SOMEONE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES - GENETIC- TELLING SOMEONE ELSE THEY WILL GET OSTEOPOROSIS OFF OF EATING DONUTS. THEY ARE RIGHT, AND YET.....WTF NO, THEY'RE NOT. I KNOW MY MEDICAL FACTS- THAT MAKES NO SENSE), NOT BECAUSE I LACK EMOTION, BUT BECAUSE I HAVE THEM, AND ACTUALLY LOGICALLY COMPREHEND OTHER'S EMOTION! THE DEFINITION OF EMPATHY! AND I PRACTICE APPLYING MY PERSONAL MORALS AND PRACTICES OFTEN! So "having no morality" does not make sense. It is more of.....your morals are not mine. So you are wrong. And a problem." ....No wonder there is so much shame in these people. The do not notice the hole they are creating. What a sad life. What type of world is it when people cannot understand why "unspeakable" things happen? You just ostracize everything until people are afraid to speak, not HAVE AN OPINION AT ALL. Completely unrealistic! I wanted to debate with these people, but something about seemed so primitive, so obvious. I never had to debate something so simple in all of my life! I was not ready!

And I started to think....Do I understand people? If they are able to think this dumbly, should I be ready for the best dumb conversation? Should I always be ready for someone to say something truly cruel and wrong? These 2-3 people have been minorities in my life. I feel they should not be concentrated on. But they exist. So I have to be a ready for them. What do I say? How do I deal with these people?



DO I JUST TELL THEM TO SHUT UP?

(Because listening to them made me feel even worse. Indeed, everyone has a right to an opinion, but the moment that opinion/thought leaves you mouth, you have to be ready to defend it. And when your opinion is rooted in self deception, frustration, and personal insults with no actual information....PERHAPS YOUR OPINION IS NOT WORTH AS MUCH.) 

So here is my question:


 Are their comments valid, and am I TECHNICALLY a bad person? I do not feel personally offended easily, but when there is just a shred of truth, I listen, and the mistake I made was I LISTENED HARD, and now, I feel like an awful person by helping someone. Should I not be helping them? Or are they they ones wrong here?! NRUGHHH I am conflicted and I have been brewing over this, and I have not gotten my answer alone, so I want to get an answer from someone who has had experiences with crap people and friends, but also you don't seem easily offended (I hope, because I am sick of those people. They barely offer anything objective and smart to some conversations, and even if they did, half the time, they are crying or whining to get to their point), so I was hoping to get an opinion from a similar mindset.
