The ride of life also doesn’t stop in an emergency. Sadly.
Wasn’t that what this was saying?
No
The image part is a metaphor for life, like the title suggested.
It’s saying that crying because of life isn’t an emergency, not that life doesn’t stop for emergencies.
This ride only stops in an emergency
Yes, because it is a metaphor.
A flawed one - because life doesn’t stop in an emergency… You know - the thing people were saying.
…Or do you think metaphors have magical reality-warping powers?
First you don’t understand a metaphor and then you take it literally.
Metaphors are not literal truths, they are metaphors
Metaphors aren’t literal, but they are descriptive. Describing something that doesn’t stop as something that stops is a bad metaphor.
“Hair of midnight” is a metaphor, but not one you’d use to describe a blonde.
This isn’t complex.
Not even in an emergency. Wait until you get fucked up and end up in the hospital with no family or friends. Life is still continuing out there.
Yep. When my father was unconscious for a week before he died, I spent a lot of time at his bedside. The hospital staff was nice and made sure we had a room for him alone, even in the ICU, but every day when I stepped out, there was just life, going on out there, completely unbothered by my father lying three floors above, in his bed, dying. For quite a while I was so, so afraid of the same happening to me, one day. I would be alone though, I have no children. I cried, when I told one of the nurses about this thought and she hugged me and told me, they never let people die alone. Helped me a bit, right there.
Nurses are by far the best people in this world. They make me want to be a nurse or counselor or do literally anything to help people. They proved to me how valuable just being a good person is.
I spent a few years homeless. Some of it critically ill. Unfortunately I’m aware. One of the many reasons I have a hard time giving myself any value.
Dang. I don’t know where you’ve been or where you are but I hope you’re doing better now. My negativity is mostly a meme. We’re all just sitting here too afraid to talk to each other.
It is what it is. Shitty childhoods can fuck a man up lol
I want to get off Mr. Bone’s Wild Ride.
Luckily, that’s almost always an option!
The ride of life doesn’t stop. Enjoy or suffer, the ride continues.
What about pissing?
