Question of the Day

Is resistance ever futile?

Definitly...

Sometimes there is no point and in the long run it is just easier to assimilate oneself, or to walk away.

Only if it fails.

And even then, it inspires some nice rhetoric for the next generation to try again.

Is that taken from a head of a virgin girl?:)))
ok.
resistance can be different - if it's a violent one, then I guess it's senseless and stupid. and if it's a wise (some kind of "yes" but still doing your own way) then it sounds:)
I love the Chinese kind of proverbs regarding this subject (about being mild and pliant as water but still choosing your way or about a twig of reed that resists the wind by leaning tighter to the ground).
Here is mine Q:Do the questions which don't have answers exist?

"...for the next generation to try again."

LMFAO!!! I didn't mean for that pun to appear, but since it did...

Cheers!

I made a funny and didn't know it.

Yes, but the hope for victory never is until you die.

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! BRILLIANT!!!

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

I knew you'd get a kick out of that if you saw it. ^___^

"Here is mine Q:Do the questions which don't have answers exist?"

Yes. As a matter of fact, I'm working on one now: What is n/0?

Go to my journal and look up my division by zero tag. I'm even writing to thr head if MIT's math department about it.

yes, if you know damnwell you want what it is youre resisting...(am i talking about my relatiomship with a married.......yup)

no, if resistance is neccessary to make yourself heard (ie the anti war demos)

A tale of two rats.....

[warrior-olight.livejournal.com]

Take two rats - plunk one down into the middle of the ocean and the other in a deep well which is slowly filling with water. The ocean bound rat will struggle for a while but then give up and go ahead and drown as there was no hope. The well rat will keep treading water knowing that in the end it will be floated out of the well and to relative safety.

Of course, humans are not rats and we will fight even when it seems futile. I will resist way past futility for people and ideals that I hold close to my heart.

The whole rat thing might be bunk but it sure sounds good.

[kosta-pasta.livejournal.com]

done:)posted two comments on that.
sorry, it doesn't mean they (Qs I was asking for) exist:)

[cmerun12.livejournal.com]

Yep

[warrior-olight.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you LaForge'd on ahead and didn't lose your composure.
Considering all the Data at hand you did quite well.

[xjenavivex.livejournal.com]

who can deny the borg!

[rowanchey.livejournal.com]

When it comes to lust & desire...definitely! ^__~

[the-ravyn.livejournal.com]

No, because if it were, I wouldn't be alive today.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I dunno... While there's breath, there's hope...

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Nice song :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

But is the point of failure easy to measure?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

Now you know what I was thinking about this morning :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

An engaging comment bro :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LMAO!

My favourite question without an answer is "How long is a piece of string?"

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

But as long as you have hope, aren't you resisting?

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Both sides of the coin there :)

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

Every failure holds within it a kernel of possibility. It's a matter of weeding through and seeing what went wrong, how it can be done better, and having the personal fortitude to see it through again, provided the risks and costs are worth the final outcome of success.
