The main difference between irony and sarcasm is that sarcasm is a simple statement which is intended to convey the exact opposite meaning to the listener; irony involves more context and subtlety.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Well, Krazyhorse is right it was sarcasm I used. I'm very sarcastic.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.Comment
