 Spiny I've had enough of your garbage. Get out. Level: 53 Posts: 561/578 EXP: 1100262 Next: 56857 Since: 02-19-07 Last post: 5373 days Last view: 4293 days |
Once upon a time there was an integer named Zero. He didn't like to be alone, so he created One, so they could be together in harmony. Then they both got bored with each other, and decided to do something new, so they began to walk in a forward direction, and they could see the number 3 trailing all the way back to the beginning. After a while, they decided that doing other things was the right thing to do, so they decided to walk backwards, and in doing so created 4. Then when they saw four, they began to think of how they might be able to do that walk differently. Eventually, they began to walk around in circles, and created 5 in the process. When they saw all the directions they could go, those visions became 6. And when they thought of which one to call the true way, their desire became 7. And when they found out they were sacrificing the rest of 6 for 7, they decided that it was ok, and 7 transformed into 8. And when all their children became of age, they found that the children would run about without caring. So they created 9 to make sure the children did not regret their actions. |

Sounds like a fucked up creationist theory...
Also, what happened to 2? It started with 0, went to 1 and skipped to 3. |

They're just concepts. Conceptually, 0 and 1 are both separate things. I started at zero instead of 1, whereas for me to incorporate two I should have started at one.
...Get it? |

Unfortunately, no I don't get it, because the way you explain it would be "If I started with 1, I'd go to 2 and skip to 4"
Reason being, it doesn't matter where you start counting (be it concept or not), why would you skip a number without explaining the absence of the skipped number. It would have made sense if it was a pattern like: 0, 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10 (etc.) My thinking could be flawed though. |

Well, let's count what I had:
0 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 And now the number system: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 And when we compare them both together: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 See how one is actually the second integer I mentioned? That's what I meant by it being two. Now, for Part 2: The two stood still, not moving at all. Then something happened, creating motion, and one wanted to attack it in a positive manner, while the other wanted to attack it in a negative manner. To the others watching, the latter seemed like complete nonsense. This, for them, was a display of sane versus insane. But they realized that in their universe, everything was done on principles of the love light. The one that became positive became an aspect of the truth that motivated him, while the one that became negative only wanted to be without. As more and more things began to happen around them, more aspects of truth came, and molded the positive one into something completely different, while the negative one did not change. There was only one truth in desire for the negative one, while the truth was different each time with the positive one. One day, a wise man came and taught them the secrets of knowing good and evil things. They stood together, and the positive one was ashamed of the negative one, who was a part of him symbiotically, because all he wanted to do was destroy the good his positivity created. But he saw that without negativity, he could only reach so much potential. Nothing changed, because nothing could stop existing. So the wise man told him it was OK to forget the negative one, and with the wise mans help, the positive one forgot all about his twin. So the negative one began to eat the good things that happened without him around. And when the positive one would discover he was doing wrong, the negative one would remind him of his guilt out of desire to exist. And the positive one grew to know this as natural, so as he continued to grow, he learned that not following truth was the wrong thing, and for each time he would fail, he became accustomed to victimizing himself. This was the only way the negative one could find a way to have meaning, because the positive one would not let himself die, and they were one being together. That being said, the positive one had already learned that not following virtue was right, because it was a form of desire. At the expense of his changes that he had made previously, he would enact his virtues upon his newer changes to modify them. But learning this was too much like his twin, he avoided doing so, and became comfortable in knowing that this was the right thing to do. The negative one was safe in existing in the positive one's desire of knowing wrong. He could live forever, as long as something was wrong. One day, their mother came and was appalled. She sent a ray of love that would teach the positive wrong to shine love into his wrongs, so that they may have life to instead of becoming his demise. And once again, though this time in full motion, the twins existed again in harmony, for neither of them were aware of wrongs. And they both lived. |
