107 Diagnosis

[vicodincrutch]

As much of a fan as I am of tearing apart the conceptions of any type of long held belief, religious or not, I think that this one stands firm in the City or anyplace else.

Hell is other people.

Try arguing otherwise.

If that were true this would be much easier.

It is true.

How's that for your easy way out?

[as_damaged]

Mistrusting even when you don't need to make a leap of faith. The host of Heaven and the hordes of Hell are before you, and you doubt them still.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

I will until it makes sense to me.

she will apologize for this someday, sobbb >3

[as_damaged]

You do the Lord's work in spite of yourself.

O_O is how he feels on the inside ....yes

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

It is all my work.

And you drank the Kool-Aid. Your point of view is invalid.

[as_damaged]

It does not matter to me what you believe, or what you say.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Oh good. We're even. Play a victory solo on your harp.

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

Oh that's a sad thought.

[Voice]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

The right ones usually are.

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering what your reasoning on this one is. Hell is other people?

[Voice]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

How aren't they? You come into this world alone, and you are who you are until someone attempts to mold or change you. You get to know people, they know you too. What they know can harm you just as much as it can help you.

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

Sometimes they love you too. And make you smile. Warm hugs are nice. I enjoy cooking and baking with other people. Have you ever tried that?

[Voice]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

All of this is banking on the detail that they like you enough to begin with. And in order to get people to like you, you act like anyone else but yourself. When you get comfortable, then they see how you really are.

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

Sometimes that's true. Like if I have a crush on a boy I can sometimes get all... weird. But I know some people who like me for me too. so I think you're trying to make it sound like everyone and every interaction is the same, but really it isn't. Are you comfortable right now? Cause I am and this is an interesting conversation so far, which is on the road to liking, or it could be.

Are you reading off of a Hallmark card?

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

...there's a Hallmark store here?

I mean no.

[Voice]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Try being more convincing.

[Voice]

[alexis-castle.livejournal.com]

About what?

Hell is what you make of it. If you hate other people then I am sure that is exactly what your hell would be.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

By your own definition, hell can be baby puppies.

Video

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

It could be if you hated 'baby puppies'…


[Responds using House’s own words even though saying ‘baby puppies’ is redundant since puppies are ‘baby’ dogs. ]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Clearly that's as bad as getting lied to, betrayed, used... anything like that because it's a matter of perception. What's personal abuse, right?

Video

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

I only said that each person creates their own version of hell… whatever they hate the most will come to haunt them.
I never said anything about the kinds of activities that would cause one’s soul to appear in hell.

Video

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Activities that some how magically come to being. Not like anyone has a choice. Or are you actually saying that choice is in there too, choices people make themselves?

Video

[eagleofautozam.livejournal.com]

Of course people have a choice. You can decide to be a good or a bad person, to cheat or not to cheat…

[Voice]

[setshimup.livejournal.com]

Sartre.

[Voice]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Correct. But you won't get a cigar out of it.

[Voice]

[setshimup.livejournal.com]

I only ever smoked a cigar once. In a cigar bar. I was doing research for a role. I'm not a fan. You can keep your cigars.

[Voice]

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay buzz-executioner.

I'm saying you're right.

[contaminations.livejournal.com]

No point in arguing the truth.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Some are trying.

[contaminations.livejournal.com]

Some are morons.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

Only some? Let's be honest. Most.

[worksmart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, because what we all need right now is an existential debate.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

To keep things regular.

[dr_conscience]

As apt as the expression can prove, I think the City's current angle is slightly less abstract.

[vicodincrutch.livejournal.com]

You think? You mean you're not sure?

1/2

[dr_conscience]

Well, just because armies of angels and demons are assembling for a biblical battle and the pit of Hell has opened beneath the City...

[dr_conscience]

Interesting time for you to decide to start taking me literally.
