Do you think you rule or suck?

[Pekka]

documentary aspect? No, the thing I got out of it was that they said most people hate themselves. That's it.

So, why don't you get your ass back here and start ruling, now you're just sucking.

[MosesPresley]

I'm shocked to see so many narcissistic blowhards on a rule-the-world game site. You all suck. You just think, you rule.

[Pekka]

but that's the POINT!! AAARGH do I have to shout it?

People who hate themselves or think they suck, why? Low self esteem, what, what is it?

Even if I think someone sucks at something, so what? Since when do I make the rules of what constitutes as sucking in life.

The point is, people don't just then think they didn't master the art of singing. Hey, I'm a horrible singer! I'm a horrible painter, I'm horrible at many things. So what? I still rule and I don't hate myself or think that I suck. It's go tnothing to do with self deception as in thinking that I'm the best at hockey when clearly I'm not. That is totally besides the point and not even the scenario.

Jeesh, well at least Spec got it.

?

It's not that I'm missing the point, it's that I don't understand why it matters. If other people think they suck, how or why does it affect me? If other people think they rule, when should I start caring if they don't interact with me?

As far as my own personal realist view, as opposed to delusional optimistic or depressingly pessimistic, I have certain skillsets which I am proficient at, and others in which I am not.

So, what's the point of the discussion?

[Aeson]

I always feel like I suck. That's just how I'm wired (or rather chem'd). Intellectually I understand I'm apt at some things, average at others, and fail miserably at some as well.

In an absolute sense, I think we all suck extremely hardcore, but that it's not anybody's fault. We just have a lot of unrealized potential as individuals, and even moreso as a species.

I didn't think it was physically possible, but I both suck and blow.

too easy

[Dis]

well right not I think I suck. being unemployed is a big part of that.

my personality is a series of contradictions. some of you may all know this. Or I have swings from one side to the other. For example I generally consider myself inferior to everyone else and not worthy of their attention, but yet I'm stuck up. I never realized I was stuck up until someone said I was. But now I see it.

And at other times I think other people are incompetant and/or lazy about their jobs. This is true. And I can be an arrogant ***** to work with I guess. I suppose that's why I was fired. Many times I'll do the job myself as I know I can do it better than other people. I was stepping on a lot of toes, and probably insulting them indirectly in the process.

in conclusion I rule when it comes to lame stuff like work. but I suck at social interactions. That's the only thing I can think of that explains why I feel like I rule and suck at the same time.

Okay here's a story about two kinds of chicken farmers.

The first type of chicken farmer gets up in the morning and goes to collect the produce from his hens. He goes out into the shed and shovels up all the shit and puts it in a basket. He leaves the eggs to rot and brings the shit inside. He is a foolish chicken farmer.

The second type of chicken farmer gets up in the morning and goes to collect the produce from his hens. He goes out into the shed and collects all the eggs, leaving the shit to decompose into fertilizer. He brings the basket of eggs inside and makes a nice omelet for his family, selling the rest of the eggs at the market. He is a good chicken farmer.

What kind of chicken farmer are you?

In life, why are we all shit collectors?!

In this metaphor, the eggs are successes and the shit is mistakes. Both are legitimate produce of life.

The egg collector knows to celebrate success and to grow from mistakes. The shit collector indignantly argues that shit is a part of life! And no-one can argue with him. But still, by collecting shit he acts inexplicably and smells bad, and no-one can argue with that.

So many people are shit collectors. They dismiss their successes and dwell endlessly on their failings and mistakes, rather than just growing from them.

If I consider the question I may imprint a new pattern on my brain and spend the rest of my life reinforcing the nonexistant implications of the drivel therein.

ok i will answer the question in a nice and polite way then:

I am extremely over-confident at times and even short tempered with other human beings. (DUH)

but my age and my health are quickly catching up to me so that is making me more humble and reasonable, slowly but surely. I have also overcome incredible obstacles to get where I am today and that has helped me sustain my lifestyle in a more positive light. i am not proud of my past but it has helped forge me into the man I am today.

so i rule

Here we are at the insignificant corner of some obscure galaxy which is itself not particularly outstanding among its fellows and we take up almost no part of it. There's so many of us on this dirt ball that we're starting to starve here and there and we mostly all think we're hot ****. I have a funny feeling that fact in itself makes us a universal joke among the truly civilized planets where the creatures have more perspective. However its more likely they couldn't even be bothered to laugh at us. We definately don't rule, and we're not even important enough to suck.

Recognising one's insignificance is teh first step in ruling
