[QUOTE="AAA, post: 116218, member: 5790"] I don't mean to devalue positive thinking. Indeed I do understand and value things like perseverance and determination, willpower, hope, etc. Do not interpret my statements as necessarily to justify surrender. I am simply complicating the conversation by adding a realist perspective. It is similar to asking how 4 makes you feel. Does 2+2 make you angry? What is the most charming characteristic of the (=)equals symbol? It is simple logic, values and principles to determine a solution, as are so many of life's circumstantial difficulties. If you're falling from the sky with no parachute, you can be thinking whatever makes you feel better about the last two minutes of your life, or you could be analyzing the situation on a strictly logical basis in order to determine any and all possible solutions or damage control measures available. I would be figuring my altitude and rate of fall/drag ratio to slow myself down as much as possible while I try to spot and steer toward water, haystacks, or anything in range and remotely suited to absorb the impact with as little damage as possible, hoping like hell I live or walk again. But the whole time, I am counting on death because it is the most logical outcome. Realism. [MEDIA=youtube]TX0dewoMUWw[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
