So Syren's thread got me thinking shock

...if you could have one day were you could be with anyone and anywhere you wanted would you take that chance? ..or would it be too much...for the rest of your life you'd have to live with knowing perfection and true happiness..would that be too much to carry on living with..?

Excellent...

I just answered this in the other thread, sort of..

I sincerely hope I would have the self restraint to say no, because I know it would kill me to have to return to the mundane life (in comparison) I was leading before I had my perfect day.

But, and this is the problem, does anyone have that much inner strength, really? If I were actually faced with that choice, that opportunity, I would probably succumb. Like a ton of bricks

I very much doubt I would...if I could be with the person I love (whoever he is) in a perfect place...I don't think I could resist..no matter the consequences or how it would effect mine and his life afterwards..

I think the chances of me being able to restrain myself and pass something like that up are nearly non-existant.....

I'll just shove these in as well if anyone cares to read them..

That would be great... but wouldn't we, as humans, desire more than just one day? Even if we vowed to tolerate the limit, we'd always want more.

Originally posted by Fianna
Yes..I guess we would..but if it was limited and we we forced to ONLY have that day...then you would always have this perfect day in your mind...though I think if you had that, you wouldn't want the rest of your life and would probably end up killing yourself becuase you had know true happiness and perfection but could never have it again..

OMFG, that's perfect! I totally agree... so I think if anyone offered me that perfect day I'd say no thanks.

Actually, I don't think I could... OMG, we're screwed.

True..or maybe you would motivated to be with this person or in this place and so you'd strive to be with and end up happier even if things are no longer perfect..

Only if you knew.. that's a good point actually. What if this perfect day were your insight into what could become of your life if you were to strive to reach your full potential? That's incentive enough, surely... wouldn't it be great if everyone had the Xmas Past, Xmas Present and Xmas Future ghostly trio come over one night, like Scrooge... the world would be full of responsible, hard working, generous people. All striving to be perfect for selfish reasons of course. Jeez, what a headf*ck.

No...

knowing i'd lose her forever would kill me inside...

Perfect day? I'd meet all my friends here on KMC and chat with each other and hang out........go swimming at the beach.....barefoot soccer in the grass......dinner at some upper class resturant.....have a four-star hotel all to ourselves.....concert if possible.

What if it could be like this?

I would do it just for the experience.

It's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all...

ive been with someone for a short time and connected with them, then lost them... so i know what its like... i couldnt go through that again...

But you've experienced it.. I'm in no way playing down your loss, please don't take it the wrong way. But could you imagine a life never knowing what you knew, even though it was for a short time?

Honestly, I'd rather know the experience then have to wonder....which is why I think that if I had the chance to live one day that was, to me, perfect, I would take it.

I guess we'll never know if it's really true... on the one hand, those that never love would have jumped at the chance, and those who have loved and lost wish they had never loved Catch 22.

Wow, deep, erm i think i take then go into a state of mental depression beacuse i over think things anyway, i would probs sit in a room thinking about and not know that years were going past then i wake up relise i was in a coma and lost 30 years of my life then i would think why did i do that then going roudn and round in a cycle untill i die

I personally think its better to have loved and lost so you get to experience the god adn the bad although , what you don't know can't hurt ya

How about this;

If you chose your perfect day, wouldn't this day also have to be perfect fgor everyone else involved? So as to avoid anything going wrong in the slightest? And if this is the case, is there such a thing as multiple people having the exact same idea of a perfect day?

Oh course it's better to have experienced love, even if just briefly. You can always love again.

Don't you mean you love someone despite their faults... their flaws become attractive to you because you love them as an entirety?

You'd have to find an acceptable definition of perfect

Which is very true, what I find to be perfect will be different from what you do which will be different than what Fi does.....

That's what I meant by it not being possible to have your perfect day if it involves even one other person

I'd have to say a perfect day is 3-4ft, off-shores breezes, lined-up sand bars, blue skies, green hills, white sand, not too many out and bikini lovlies bouncing around in the foreground/background. Chilled Margarita's waiting for my sunset reurn, would cap it all.

But the fact it had to be accepted , liek with the flaws mean it wasn't perfect, i mean the general note in that was the fact there was flaws and something flawed is not perfect, its good enough for you , its what you love but its not perefection

Originally posted by Syren

Perfection, by it's nature, stokes the desire of others...

Originally posted by Fianna

Absolutely. The love would be different, but no less than you experienced before. Some people would compare, the stronger ones would allow it to happen without fear of loss.

Whenver I do something brilliant, I'm left with a feeling of nostalgia when it's come to an end.

Do I look back at it, sad that it's gone...

or do I recall the best bits, and let them bring a smile to my face?

I'd go for living the best day of my life, and always having something to look back on when things are bad.

yeah i would want it.. no question, even though it would hurt like hell all the days after

Hmm...

*Uses arms as scales*

A day of ravenous hot sex and love with Adriana Lima....or not.

What? You can understand the dilemma surely.

-AC

On a basic, primal level, I think we'd all choose to live our perfect day

No, there would be nothing to look forward to - absolutely nothing.

Me too......How could you not...

Yes I would, I know there are people out there who have a much more perfect life than mine, and yes it would be kind of a bummer to be back to your ordinary life, but at least you got to expirience true happiness, how many people do get to expirience that?

it does seem that way, doesn't it? and that's exactly why we strive for perfection so much. we want things we cannot have, and when we finally get what we want, we always turn to something else and want that. we look at others with envy, thinking that they have it all, thinking that they're living the perfect life... but beneath the surface, behind the glamour, they have their own problems and their own issues. they're striving for perfection just as much as the next person.

lucky for me, i've found this special someone. we've only been together for a year and we've already been through so much. we both sacrificed so much to be together. i left behind everything i thought i knew. it still hurts and though haunts me, i'll burden the scars forever if it means a lifetime with this one person. he showed me everything, what love is and what it means to love and to be loved. if for some reason, everything ended in an instant, i wouldn't regret anything. i wouldn't take it back. i'd do it all over again if i could.

no, my life isn't perfect and i won't pretend it is, but just being with this person makes everything worth it. all the doubts i have, the insecurities... he washes them away with a single kiss, a soft touch, and three whispered words.

i love him and will aways love him. now and forever... for all eternity. i'll never love again.

we all have our imperfections and quirks, but its those things that make us who we are. and for those who love us for it, they are the ones that are worth the time and effort.

If I could go one day without falling down the stairs, it would be an achievment.

In fact, if I had legs, it would be even better.

Oh yeah I would take it.

A perfect day may be perfect but there are still plenty of good things to come, sure nothing will compare to that but it can still be fun or good, maybe not as fun or as good but still. Perfection is something very few people can understand there has never really been a perfect something for people although things can get damn close, after that doing other things will suck but you will get used to it and learn to appreciate that again too, and you would always have the memorry's of the greatest day ever.

i don't know why anyone would not want to live their perfect day. sure nothing would ever be that good again but sometime in the future, you would be sitting somewhere boring, or depressing but then you would look back on that day and say "hey, i remember that time when i had the best day of my life. i am glad that happened", and then you would sigh under your breath and smile a little and you would be able be happy knowing that you had the best time of your life. i think it would be worth it.

Not really... at least not as i see it...

Originally posted by Fianna

Now that would be perfect in every defintion i know of...

My perfect day would be so easy to achieve that I would have no problem/fear living it out once.

It would include simply having a full day to myself, with nothing to do. I'd play video games, watch movies, write my screenplay.... having pizza for dinner...basically my normal day, the only difference is, for this day to be perfect I'd have a clone of Jessica Alba that I could **** whenever, however, and whereever I wanted that couldn't speak or talk back.

why is it ALWAYS alba?

I fall in love with their flaws as well as their positives, so loving the whole package... not inspite of anything... at least not to me...

Perhaps living perfection for one day would allow us to better strive for it, as it would be defined.

or you could just have one perfect awesome day then commit suicide.. that should solve some problems

I would love that to happen, even for one day.

But I would be miserable when everything went back to normal.
It would tear me up inside. Hopefully I would have the strength to say no.

Why does everybody think going back from perfect will suck, well yeah of course it will suck but its not like you will go from heaven to hell... Just from heaven back to earth, sure it won't be as good as it was there but it can still be pretty good its not like you will suffer for all eternity because you had that perfect day.

Right.....you can always make perfect days......

And what's wrong with great memories anyway.....
