ROFL, I find your statement humorous.... I read it and it made me laugh.. Nothing more, nothing less....
People on this site seem to spend a hell of a lot of time rolling on their floors laughing.. or just laughing at their computer out loud. Or else they're laughing their asses off.. and sometimes their fucking asses.. all the time rolling on their floors what the fuck is that all about?
Warning **** Sarcasm ahead.... I sit on the floor sometimes when I type... so as I rock back and forth on my bottom it in effect has a sense of rolling, thus when I laugh and "roll" from side to side I am in effect, ROFL....
I find it hard to quantify why your statement made me laugh. Perhaps it was your delivery, perhaps it was the way I Heard it in my head as I read it.. It's like a joke told by 3 comedians. Each will deliver the same lines differently garnering a different result from the listener..... So... No, I cant quantify it. It was just funny to me....
Ok I see. Thanks for responding. One more thing. If you don't mind that is. Would you think it a joke or even humorous were someone to explain, in the same terms, how they might find it uncomfortable (to say the least) the way in which many adults do not in fact outgrow their need for an imaginary friend? Considering all the accompanying ramifications that entails. Ramifications in which children do not normally find themselves embroiled..
Ever fantasize about being with a woman? Ever make love to a woman in your dreams... Is that dream real or imagined??? Have you ever IMAGINED what the perfect woman would be like???? DO you desire to acquire such a woman??? Is she real or imagined.... If you have a woman, is she perfect in your eyes??? Or is her perfection imagined.... I have an imaginary friend... It is the dream of what my wife will be, but then I also have a real friend. WHo my wife really is... I talk to both of them simultaneously.... Though my imaginary friend has not come to life, my real friend brings me much joy and happiness. At night, I whisper to my imaginary friend. Hoping she would come along and give me what I dream of.... In the meantime I will enjoy my real friend and make the most of my life.... While I talk to my imaginary friend (in the shadows of the night.) SO what is the ramification of someone talking to an imaginary friend... I guess it depends on who the imaginary friend is...
Well, I was thinking in terms of the snippet which you found humorous. In this bit ... these "friends" are not real and that they will outgrow their need for such companionship with time... Now I can't tell if you are being funny about your real wife and your imaginary wife, so I won't go there, if you know what I mean. Do you not think children really need to outgrow their reliance for imaginary friends, as mentioned, especially when this substitute for their reality in adulthood is having any kind of serious impact upon others ? btw. Have you told your wife about "the other woman"? Just curious - non of my business really. ($25 will keep me quiet)
LOL. My point was to inject humor and another viewpoint in a highly debated discussion.... I think one should accept that the Imaginary friend they may or may not be latching onto is merely a concious manifestation of some unconcious need or desire they have... In the case of a child. Imaginary friends allow them to express certain feelings, opinions and ideas they otherwise would keep suppressed (whether good or bad.) In the case of an adult, once they accept that this "fictitious mental creation" is something out of their own conciousness.... Please note a lot of incomplete thoughts are listed in this post. My wife is well aware of the "other" woman in our relationship, likewise I am well aware of the "other" man in our relationship as well. The best part is in our shared expression of what we would like for each other to ultimately become we recognize that our perfect imagery of one another is helpful in becoming for the other what they seek. and helping each other achieve such levels of "implied" perfection.... In other words, I love my wife to be the best she can be and likewise she does the same for me.... And in our state of "perceived" imperfection to one another, we have solace in the fact that I love her and she loves me... regardless..... SO in short. Yes.... An adult who relys on an "imaginary" friend to justify the errant behaviour he inflicts on his fellow man needs a SHARP DOSE of reality... Or some electro shock therapy. LOL.... Of course those grounded in all things biblical/spirtual in nature would call this Demon Possession..... Saying, "I yield my Body over to the control of a Spiritual Being, I submit my will to a fallen angel, giving him control over my actions." When the truth is, they made a choice to be a fool. Free Will in action, excused by the lie of an imaginary friend.... Trust me, no fallen angel will ever be ones friend.....
