The Box of Pain

Comment ID #114579

I expect this to be rather depressing, so I figured I had better put it someplace easy to avoid. Read on if you don’t mind heartache, and post some of your own if you are having a bad day.




It hurts to see this happen. It hurts to see them fight, to see them slowly parting, like a great tapestry that is being torn in two, each thread growing taught, then straining, and finally snapping. The arguments come more often, and I can never seem to escape the shouts. What’s worst is that I hate them both for doing this because I could never choose one over the other. I hate to see them fight, knowing that I cannot take a side, because they are both wrong, just in different ways. I hate it. I wish they would stop, just talk it out instead of shouting at each other. I wish they could realize how much it hurts me to listen to the sound of their relationship crumbling, as each little piece of a bond meant to last forever falls to the ground like a star from the sky.

It makes me want to cry. But there seems to be nothing I can do to stop it. I can only watch as they kill what should have been a beautiful marriage.

But maybe, just maybe, it’s not too late for them to change.

Dirt, it’s a story T_T Your stupidity is truly boundless.

@ Sammy It was not a story so your stupidity is boundless.
That mean out stupidities can hang out behind out backs.

The word thread confused me but I see now it was part of a metaphor.

If you are experiencing this, *Ninja, I am sorry. :( But this is indeed beautifully written.

No, it’s a story ABOUT people in real life, so it’s nothing to do with these forums. Story, as in “anecdote”. I realise I should have phrased it better, but all the same.

No, it is just a saying that occasionally gets tossed around by poets writing about how horrible the world is or whatever.

It’s just that it seems to be true.

Oh, sorry, I read a few words out of your post…

I hope things solve out for you, honey.

I went through this up until I was twelve, so I get where you’re coming from. Just understand that it’s not your fault and that they are responsible for everything they say and do.

@Jerk, ILB, sammy: Thank you for your support. I’m done feeling sorry for myself now. Someone else can post something sad if they ever need to.

@Dirt: …at least you catch on quickly…

I consent that it is technically a story.
If you are using that definition of story then why did you say “it’s a story T_T Your stupidity is truly boundless.”?
I knew it was a story that he was telling us.
I asked who was fighting on the forum.
That don’t mean that I thought it was fake.

am I the box of pain yet?

*Ninja, I understand that this might not mean much to you (what with this being the Internet, and us being far away from you) but if you need any shoulders to cry on, we are here for you, and will be here for you. Do not be afraid of showing your tears or sadness.

Not as a substitute or crutch, but I still want you to know that.

I know how you may feel since I experienced the same thing… Now one of them is gone, but it started again.
All I can do for you (as a complete stranger) is to hope everything will be better.

Thank you, all of you. I just needed to get it out of my system.

And for all of you who have suffer through the same type of situation, I hope things get better for you too.


And Dirt, stop being so petty!

kind of ad hominem
but you arn’t realy saying anything about the argument so whatever.

He’s not talking about the type of argument because it’s irrelevant at best.

Chained to an oar and than dunked in the water repeatedly for days on end isn’t bad? What’s your definition of pain?

I side with Dirt in this fight but the oar thing leaves me to continue questioning his intellect.

non- sequitur
you said nothing about being dunked in the water repeatedly for days.
Also, I like swimming.
Mental pain is the rejection of current reality and physical pain is the interpretation of the body’s alarms as unpleasant and as such, I have actually found a way to feel no physical pain whilst the pain is irrelevant. It works. You cannot argue with results. I am surer about the physical pain.

@ LOD and (N) I fucked your reality!

Take your shit elsewhere, Dirt. I don’t want it here. If you really care, why not just make a thread for all your arguments and just post them there. That way I could ignore them without them taking up space on otherwise vaguely useful threads.

Hey, I was talking about having an oar straped to me. I didn’t bring out this particular argumant.
Now then, why is having and oar chained to you and being dunked in water bad?
Mostly, why did they give me an oar?

Don’t even respond to him, Ninja. It’s not worth it.

J. Vincero (Jerk) October 31, 2010, 6:31 AM EST.

Comment ID #115010

I’m just asking that he take his crap out of my thread. He made the mess, even if he didn’t bring it up, and nobody care about it anymore. I’m sure he realizes this. All I’m asking is that he not spam this thread to an extent that it becomes unusable for its designated purpose. He Pretends to act logical and reasonable, let him show it for once.

Fine. I was originally talking about your thread and the picture was related
but I did end up making an extension of an extension or an extension of the topic from “who exactly is fighting” to the particulars of “Caesar si viveret, ad remum dareris”. No one else helped but I see what I did now that you have pointed out that I changed the topic.
