    how is dread of loss advantageous?

    dread of loss should be disadvantageous. because you are the one left hanging at whim of the one who has the power to take it away.

  • 25. pinkpau  |  November 11th, 2009 at 6:04 am

    hahaha you guys are so funny :D

    just because i said it’s very close to lobsters doesnt mean that it looks like the word lobster!! it’s a contextual thing. aiyo dont stress :) i’m not telling the answer anyway. wtf.

    @giventime, but that’s exactly my point

  • 26. michelle  |  November 11th, 2009 at 6:04 am

    the loss of words. the loss of space. the loss of alphabets.

  • 27. pinkpau  |  November 11th, 2009 at 8:55 am

    it’s just occurred to me that you guys were filling in the blanks in between the word ‘l o s s’. i suppose that’s why everyone came with with words like losers, lobsters and langoustines :P anyways the gaps in the word loss are more of an e.e cummings styling than anything else. sorry! didnt mean to confuse.

    the bond i’m speaking of is actually love. i paraphrased an excerpt from machiavelli’s the prince.

    “Here a question arises: whether it is better to be loved than feared, or the reverse. The answer of course , that it is best to be both. But since the two rarely come together, anyone compelled to choose will find greater securty in being feared than in being loved…. Men are less concerned about offending someone they have cause to love than someone they have cause to fear. Love endures by a bond which men, being scoundrels, may break whenever it serves their advantage to do so; but fear is supported by the dread of pain, which is ever present.”
