Yet in the end, I found that what they really wanted was just attention and today I undestand it as acceptance and love.
So here are some artillery shells!
if you are defining 'fun' as competing against other people, and winning, yes, unfortunately i had such 'fun' in my life. the difference in between us, however, is how we take that, and your stray into making identifications and interpretations about my personal life while trying to argue that competing against others and winning instead of collaborating with each others and sharing, is a positive thing.
the proposition was simple - you have pictured competition as something positive. i have objected, citing the philosophical difference in between competition and cooperation in regard to negative and positive in respective order. you havent put anything that clears the philosophical difference in orientation between these two concepts. in the end, you ended up talking about my 'unfortunate' life, my shortcomings, my 'need for attention', beautified with some heart smileys.
it appears that there was a point during the sequence in this discussion that i was expected to 'back off' despite you have providing nothing in regard to the philosophy behind these things to make my mind change. and after we passed that point, it suddenly deteriorated into the perceived 'unfortunate' nature of my past.
....
now let me put it into plainspeak ; your above post proves exactly what can go wrong if someone ascribes into viewing competition as 'something good'; your post basically assaults my persona/demeans/belittles me in the expectation of me backing off, therefore, you 'winning' the argument, despite what was there was a discussion in regard to the nature of competition and cooperation in regard to the philosophical basis.
