What is your opinion on Delirium by Lauren Oliver?
I read it too, because my english teacher thought it was an interesting read, and that it was probably going to become quite popular. I agree with you on what you've said, that the whole idea of a world where you get surgery so you don't really feel emotions is interesting, but the way Lauren wrote the story sort of bugs me a little. I'm with you- I'm not one for too much romance, and I was looking for a bit more action. It was fun to read about her sort of escaping with him occasionally, but the fact that you don't really get to witness the surgery, just bits of it, and that most of it is sort of a fantasy love dream is a bit annoying And the whole fact that he died at the end? I think the whole revolution thing in the second one is going to get on my nerves, so I'm not even going to try it, it's just an opinion though. It seems to be getting quite popular. I just found it boring. And quiet.
Is it ok to dream about having lung cancer at the age of 31?
I think if you do you need to examine what is going on in your head that you would want that. It is a horrific disease. Is this your way to kill yourself without actually doing it with a gun or pills? Is your life so bad that you are looking for a long and painful way out? Lung cancer is a process. A very long one in most cases that ends in death not long after the patient finds out that something is wrong. It is not a fast death. For someone like me who caught it early there is surgery and the life long worry it will return. I am 47. I lost the right lower lobe of my lung and worry every day that the next scan will be the scan it comes back. My mother died a horrific death at 61 from lung cancer. I know what the end looks like. Get help. Find a good therapist to work through your feelings with you. It will be worth it. I would not wish lung cancer on anyone, even my worst enemies. Your life is worth living. You are worth it.
What would you do if Reinhard Heydrich suddenly appeared in your house?
Everyone here with dreams to stick a knife in his guts, bash his skull in with an iron pan, or simply beat him senseless kind of have to get rid of their hero delusions.Assuming this Heydrich arrived here straight out of the World War Two, we are talking about a tall and well built soldier in peak physical condition. Extremely hardy, too, hardy enough to run for half a block just after getting his entire left half blown to shreds.This isn’t a sniveling former chicken farmer like Himmler.Unless you are, say, a skilled martial artist, a former soldier or something similar, or simply have a gun to shoot him, your attempt to attack Heydrich will near-guaranteedly end very bad for you. Especially if he came armed. And being any of those is no guarantee either.I am none of those, so even thinking to attack Heydrich is out of question.Hell, more importantly, am I the only one who can look past my hate and see opportunity here? This is Reinhard Heydrich, the most skilled and smartest member of the Hitler’s top echelon, and one of history’s most fascinating figures especially because of how little we know about him by comparison, in flesh and blood. This is a chance to meet the closest thing history had to an evil genius.Assuming he can speak English, I am not missing the opportunity to talk to him. This is literally an once in a lifetime opportunity. And my inner historian demands I not miss it.And be absolutely polite, too. I would not survive antagonizing him.
Do we live a second life in dreams?
Sleep is the safest part of life and dreams are the trials of the dreamer's emotion. A dream may or may not become true, but the feeling will be true, temporarily though. The pain, the happiness you experience and every other emotion is true. Dreams are faithful reproductions of your subconscious feelings - the fears you hold against something, the little wishes you want to be fulfilled etc. Dreams are loyal to their dreamers in creating mental roleplays for their feelings and making them experience something without actually going thorough it.When it comes to living a second life in your dream, it's debatable. A dream is broken with the dawn and may never reoccur, there may be hundred such mysterious dreams. Dreams are not what you want them to be, rather they are a representation of what's within you, deep inside waiting to be relieved.Lucid dreaming is exceptional in the way that you can control it and make it your second life, a happier one than the one you are living in now.Thanks for a2a, I'm not sure if I answered your Q exactly, it's just my idea.
