[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh please. Happiness coming from within can just as easily hold the cheated on spouse to blame. After all, they should find happiness with and not blame others, right?[/quote]

Interesting. So if, say, a burglar breaks into my home and steals my silver, or my DH decides to pawn it, I should blame myself? Because happiness comes from within?

I am increasingly convinced that you are incapable of rational thought.[/quote]

Classic DCUM mistake, you are addressing more than one poster who disagrees with you.

And your logic makes no sense. Inatimate objects do not participate in relationships nor are men who have affairs "stolen" with zero culpability. You are flawed.[/quote]

You are really the most ludicrous person. You just said that happiness comes from within, so if someone wrongs you, it is your fault. There is no way to blame anyone who actually acts against you. That is precisely what you said. And now you are trying to claim that I think "inanimate objects" are in relationships? WHAT?

I have, however, gone beyond thinking that you are irrational. I now think you are an especially moronic troll. There is no way that a person with an IQ over 75 would not understand the original analogy. [/quote]

I did not say that!!! You are (mis)quoting me. You are quoting TWO posters and I AM NOT the poster who said happiness comes from within.

Stop assuming you are responding to one person. Multiple people respond here.[/quote]

So you are the poster who produced the word salad about inanimate objects and culpability. Well, frankly, it doesn't matter that you personally didn't initially state the part about happiness coming from within, since you explicitly inserted yourself into a thread that began with that, incorporating it by reference.

But it still takes a special kind of irrationality to think that an analogy about someone treating another person poorly is somehow a statement that about inanimate objects being in relationships. And that is not a misquote at all - you said that the analogy was flawed because "Inatimate objects do not participate in relationships." That is a direct quote, and there is no backpedaling from it. Maybe you think that it makes sense, but again, it just doesn't. And let's not even get into the next part - "men who have affairs 'stolen' with zero culpability." Whatever.  :roll:

I will try to use little words that even you can understand. The first post (which you didn't have to quote but chose to) said that because happiness comes from within, we can "hold the cheated on spouse to blame." I replied with a general and quite broad analogy about people mistreating others. The idea that it was theft was just an example of a type of betrayal of one person by another. Thus, I had a second example of someone pawning your valuables. I could have said, or someone murders your dog, or deliberately breaks a family heirloom, or hits you. Choose any example you like where one person (we'll call him the bad person) does something really awful to another person (we'll call him the nice person). If you think happiness coming from within means that the bad person is not only not responsible for causing pain to the nice person, but that the blame lies with the nice person, you have the most bizarre code of ethics ever.

But how nice that there are apparently two of you on DCUM. [/quote]

Do you speak to your friends and family this way? You sound like a gem. Go find another thread to belittle people on, we are attempting a conversation. [/quote]
