!!!!revenge!!!!

[daring wraith]

Dear DJs, one and all,

Upon our vast exploits through our long and arduous journey of self improvement, individuals shall stand in our way. Some with delusional moral objections to our adventures, others wanting to elevate their own self worth by belittling and preventing our plays.
With Valentines day fast approaching, the day in which lovers cherish one another and consumate their feelings, why don't we share our stories of overcoming some of the more memorable obstacles that we have encountered and the way in which we ensure they will never happen again. Afterall, revenge can taste as sweet as any loving feeling.
Lets keep this thread lighthearted for the one who takes himself too seriously is hardly going to be a model of DJs to come.

Living well is the best revenge

Come to terms over a failure, consider what went wrong and learn from it. Sage words of advice, as why would you want to expend energy on something worthless. It also sounds like a copout. Revenge makes you feel better, sets an example and also (in my social circle) breeds social elevation.
Playing womenkind isn't just a sport, it is a part of an ideological battle where we prove "we" are "winners".

Take the higher road, gain the moral high ground, allow karma to take its course.......... i prefer to be the hand of karmic retribution,its much more effective and so much more fun.

P.S. Yes, living well can be revenge as long as you have money. I must admit it is my final exit strategy of last resort.

What you'd expect from a socialist.

What you'd expect from a socialist.

What would that be, quotability and literary prowess?

But where does that prowess stem from? He was libertarian, a self proclaimed anarchist and a homeosexual. I don't think i would have got along with him.

It doesn't matter if you wouldn't have got along with him. He was still a genius and a master over language.

He was libertarian

didn't you just call him a socialist?

Yes, i was being flippant, he was what we would term a "libertarian socialist", essentially an "individualist". I would refer to him as an antiestablishmentarian.

He stated in his memoires that, ""I think I am rather more than a Socialist. I am something of an Anarchist, I believe..." and "If the socialism is authoritarian; if there are governments armed with economic power as they are now with political power; if in a word, we are to have industrial tyrannies, then the last state of man will be worse than the first."

This is why i say the term, "libertarian socialist", a term synonymous with the word "Anarchism". Anarchy, strictly meaning "without rulers", leads one to wonder what sort of system would exist in place of one without a "state" or "capitalist masters"... the answer being a radically democratic society whilst preserving the maximal amount of individual liberty and freedom possible.

Fair point, but this is down to perception of what one would call a genius. To some, Hitler was a genius or Karl Marx was a genius. It all depends whether one agrees with him/her or not. Coming to your second point, one is never a "master over language" as language is ever changing dictated by the norms and patterns of society. Again it comes back to whether you enjoy Oscar Wilde's works or not. Having said that i particularly enjoy "The importance of being earnest" and "The portrait of Dorian Gray".

P.S. Keep this coming, i like discussions of this nature.

 

[daring wraith]

@ Daring Wraith: [he was what we would term a "libertarian socialist", essentially an "individualist".]

You got to make up your mind. Those two terms are mutually exclusive.

 

[DJDamage]

What is this Shakespeare?!! All I got from your post is "Valentines Day" and "Revenge" which would make it a fun topic.

Send your ex dog sh1t inside a big heart shape box.

Ok... by "individualist" i meant "individualist anarchist". To clarify, Oscar wilde was a "libertarian socialist", who expressed himself and who actions model an "individualist". Simply put "Libertarian Socialism has connotations of anarchy, hence one can be judged "individualist anarchist".

"Individualist Anarchist" - belief that individual conscience and the pursuit of self-interest should not be constrained by any collective body or public authority".

Fair enough... but what about poetic justice.......... discord and veangeance alighting on the pure white wing of a dove causing wonderful, beautiful damage to all those it deems unworthy.
And as you mentioned Shakespeare lets not end on a quote.
"The time is out of joint. O cursed spite / That ever I was born to set it right!" (1.5.189-90, Hamlet)
