7thSeal

I've never heard that phrase before

kawaii

Ya, me either.

But seriously 7thSeal, you should be taking life more seriously for these years of your life and then relax (or fool around and go nuts) when you can afford to.

7thSeal

I don't want to leave school
I'm not ready to go out into the real world yet

kawaii

Yeah, but you can't run away from it. You're just wasting time imo.
Then again, 'tis none of my business.

7thSeal

The way I see it
If I enjoy myself
It's not wasted time

kawaii

I know. I follow your point of view but I think that although you enjoy yourself, in the long run the time spent repeating will end up meaning nothing when you might already be out living life.

7thSeal

Who cares about the long run
You need to live in the here and now

phantom_lord

You wont say that in the future tho..

kawaii

But wouldn't you like the here and now to mean something?

7thSeal

It means I'm happy
I'll worry about the future when it's the present

kawaii

This may seem like a weird question but do you have any dreams for the future? Anything in any way significant that you would like to accomplish.

You needn't answer if you do not wish.

7thSeal

No dreams
I'm awake

kawaii

Then why not jump off a cliff? That would be enjoyable and it would speed up the process.

NOTE: Do not take this too seriously.

7thSeal

Speed up what process?

kawaii

The process of the present which shall someday inevitably come to an end.

LIFE!

Your gonna have to leave school eventually, your just hiding from your future at the moment. As a wise man once posted

I'm just going forward in a different direction

well said

kawaii

Do you not feel that life will become very repetitive if you don't progress.

7thSeal

I can still progress
If anything doing the repeat leaving cert is doing something extra

kawaii

No, it's doing the same thing twice. Repeating.

7thSeal

But I have to do it somewhere new

StupidLikeAFox

what age are you?

kawaii

So. It wont mean anything. It's not really progressing. Same plot, different setting, doesn't make a different movie.

(Like the sig btw. Coincidentally, that album is sitting in front of me right now)

7thSeal

18

Different coarses too

kawaii

Aww. Why do you keep changing ya sig?

On topic: I agree that you were kinda fcuked out of it with your subjects that were chosen for you. You should have taken action against that quicker, though, when you had a chance to change things.

7thSeal

Meh
I like a challenge

kawaii

How is it a challenge if you don't work?

7thSeal

I work the night before
I want to see how well I can do with only night before study

kawaii

That's bull**** my friend.

You shouldn't lie to yourself, it's not healthy.

You basically wasted 2/3 years of your life working (or not) at subjects that you don't enjoy. And you say you don't work 'til the night before so that you can see what happens.

7thSeal

I didn't waste 2/3 of my life
I had a great time

kawaii

2/3 years.

Yeah sure, you had a good time. But now you're just going to end up repeating it and you'll have accomplished nothing.

Even this conversation is repetitive.

7thSeal

Who cares
As long as you have a good time
That's all that matters

kawaii

But you can't afford to simply ignore the future. It will lead to greater problems and unhappiness in life.

7thSeal

I'll deal with that when it comes
It's only a year anyway
What's the big fcuking deal

kawaii

Listen, I'm too tired to continue. Just consider the thought that if you don't keep up with the world around you, you will either

a) suffer from loss of friends etc who move on into life whilst you linger and experience nothing.

or

b) Grow to know much and many people but nothing will mean anything because all will become part of a constant stream of change in which you are the stone that does not move.

7thSeal

Wouldn't the same result from going on to collage

StupidLikeAFox

you are going to be stuck in the same place doing the same thing all your life if you dont move on. dont you want to get out and get on with life?

kawaii

No, then you would be the twig that moves with the stream.

7thSeal

But your friends will move on to different things

*Angel*

Guys this is an interesting conversation :rolleyes:

ah buckie! would`nt mind a swig of it now. The pure bliss afterwards and the sweet taste, mmm. However I`ve got Accounting and Economics left so I`ll think I`ll give it a miss.

Despite being a buckie drinker I have to agree with kawaii, all your mates will be moving on with their lives in college while your stuck in the same place. I think it would be rather depressing to be honest. Live life to the full, hear and now, but man do`nt throw it all away (probably to late now)

kawaii

7thSeal wrote:

Yes, but you will be moving at pace with life and with other people who are following a similar life to yours.

7thSeal

Same with repeating

kawaii

No, then you are not moving at pace with life and you end up getting left behind.

7thSeal

But doing the repeat coarse
You'd be in a class moving at your pace
They would all be repeating too
