Velthomer21 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 This exchange in TWEWY D4W1. (Minor spoilers, but nothing serious) Reveal hidden contents Neku:What are you doing? Shiki:Just people watching. I mean, look at them all. Shibuya's so diverse, and everybody's got their own story. Neku (Thoughts):Shibuya sucks. Who needs a town with so many people? All they do is get in the way and screech at each other. They're the REAL Noise. Wish I had a giant Mute button. Beat:But, yo, you ever try scanning them all? It's like havin' the radio on every channel at once. Rhyme:Yeah, like everybody's values...are all trying to come in the loudest. No other town compares. Shiki:Shibuya's a battlefield. Neku (Thoughts):Yeah, it is kinda like that. A clash of creeds. Beat:But man, all these people...and they can't even see us, yo. Rhyme:Makes you sad, huh? Neku (Thoughts):Sad?! I'm thankful. Nobody sees me. Nobody bothers me. And nobody expects anything from me. This is like a dream. Once I survive the seven days, does the dream end? Shortly followed by this one Rhyme:Wha..huh?! Wait, Beat! Shiki:Heh...Beat's got a lot of energy, huh? Rhyme:Yeah. He keeps me on the ball. Sometimes, he can get a little crazy, though. Beat's the one who asked me to be his partner. Shiki:Wow, so you---OMIGOSH IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?! Rhyme:Huh? What? Shiki:That pendant! Where did you find one?! Rhyme:Oh, this? Yeah, I heard they sold out quickly. How'd you know about it? Shiki:I saw it in a magazine. I loooooove following the latest clothes and accessories. Lucky...I wanted one soooo bad. Rhyme:I'm sorry that I can't give you mine, but it was a gift from my brother. Shiki:You've got a brother? Rhyme:Yeah. Older. He's really nice......I hope he's okay. Shiki:Oh, I'm sure he's doing great. And you'll see him soon! Rhyme:Yeah, I hope so. So, you're into fashion? Shiki:Totally! I want to be a designer! I love making clothes, but right now it's just a hobby. Rhyme:I still think it's pretty cool. It must be nice to have a dream--to be head over heels for something. I don't know what it's like....not really. Shiki:Why not? You don't have any dreams? Rhyme:No. But when I look at Beat, I think 'keep moving forward', because someday, my dream will find me. Shiki:Yeah. Rhyme:Beat's really good at skateboarding. He says his dream is to become the world's greatest skater. If he can do it, so can I.

Maelstrom Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 The 100 is a somewhat decent study in viewpoints. Especially in the way the narrative follows people such that the viewpoint and the person or people you sympathize with makes 180 turns many times. Reveal hidden contents Understanding other people is Humanity 101. It is the fucking basis of linguistics and society itself, you person. (It is also how I know such words will offend you and people whose duty it is to admonish me for using such words that accurately convey the regard in which I hold you). Sympathy and empathy are the true cornerstones of human interaction- whether it is with other humans or other species (like pets, for example). Saying it is impossible to understand other people is willful ignorance. And the antithesis of this whole thread. *shots fired* If there's a takeaway from all this is that people can understand what others are going through, and how it can affect them. Except republicans. They generally only think about how taxes cost them personally rather than how taxes are use to provide services for all. I mean, who needs police or the fire department, amirite? terrible example right? right. Nobody cares if airports and air force runways are near neighborhoods, creating massive amounts of noise at times when people are at home trying to sleep (I mean, public zoning laws are arbitrary and in no way reflect the experiences and desires of individuals outside one's self, right?). Why should we pay employees anyways? It's not like they have their own dreams and necessities. Stab the next human being you come across and see if you can't understand the verbal and visual expressions that happen as a result. Tell me how that goes for you. Tell me the judiciary system exists independently of the human experience. Don't tell me that it's impossible to understand other people when contrary examples are all around you.

Eviora Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Reveal hidden contents @Maelstrom I don't think such hostility is warranted here. It seems to me like there's just a miscommunication occurring between the two of you. It's absolutely true that (most) people are capable of empathizing with others. Learning a little about the people you interact with happens naturally. And, if you become close enough, you can get to know each other very well, too. I agree that it's extremely possible to gain great insights into why people behave the way they do. I'm not certain Velthomer is denying that, either. If I had to guess based on the context of that quote, I'd say it's referring to complete understanding. I won't say it's impossible, but fully understanding anyone, even yourself, is incredibly difficult. The human mind is wildly complex. So much is rooted in memories, associations, and self-narrative. I've certainly surprised myself plenty of times, and I know I'm not alone in that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I personally disagreed with Velt's initial quote too and I - like Lia - agree with your point (pretty strongly too tbh, imo its arrogant and dogmatic to regard empathy as an impossibility, in addition to it being close-minded and ignorant^), the hostility in your post seems very unwarranted and unnecessary as you'll already know from your earlier status and if there's some sort of personal issue between you both I recommend taking it up civilly with each other in private messages? I also implore you to edit in an apology to your post if not to Velt then at least openly to others since hostility is also the antithesis of this thread :/ Also, like, I've literally no idea where that politics talk came fromeven if its true kek jk. This is what that is for. On a similar note, not everyone excluding republicans/politicians in the world is empathetic, and that's a character flaw to help someone with, not lash out at them for. Though that's simply my personal opinion and I know there's those that disagree with it. But yeah. As Evi already said, none of that here of all places please. @Velthomer21 I hope you don't feel too uncomfortable to post here or just speak for yourself in general following this ^ because you are (and anyone is) still welcome here, as always, obviously lowkey also @Eviora can u pls put your post in a spoiler pls C: no seriously everyone, please do Most of us are complicated, difficult, scared, confused, ashamed, sad, angry, and more... Just like you. - unknown Expand Reveal hidden contents First of all, why would I ever feel uncomfortable to post? Secondly, is it not arrogant to say that you can achieve complete understanding of a person? As if you're calling them simple and easy to understand? As TWEWY puts it, individuals work on their own logic, and the logic of one person may mean nothing to another. To say or even imply that you completely understand anybody, even yourself, entirely is to diminish the complexity involved in their logic, emotions, mental stability, beliefs, looks, opinions, faith, etc. Like the speaker says (still don't want to spoil TWEWY), true and complete understanding is impossible. Thirdly, as you've seen, now using spoilers correctly. Oh, and @Maelstrom, you're wrong. I'm not offended by anything that you said. It is your right to say it, although I will mention that I found the bit about you immediately assuming my political stance (incorrectly) pretty funny and pretty ironic, considering the basis of the quote you were apparently offended by. Anyway, let's get back on track. "You have to be careful about placing labels on good and evil, Seliph. Don't waste your anger on individuals. Instead, focus it on the evil in all of us." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
