Random Thought Of The Day #659

Day 659
So, I've been thinking about this and it's a thought that keeps popping into my head every time I read a profile here or on OKC or pretty much anywhere.

Why is it necessary for people to say that they "enjoy having fun" or "having a good time" or something along those lines? Was there or is there a rash of people that hate being miserable and yet constantly are that I'm not aware of? Because well... if they love being miserable, then they're actually having their own definition of fun. If they love having a shitty time, then they're actually having a good time for themselves.

"Fun" or "good" are objective terms that describe subjective experiences. Having a red hot poker shoved up my ass and having my dick chopped off might sound like a fucking blast to some people but at the same time, it sounds like... well... like having a red hot poker shoved up their ass and their dick chopped off... to pretty much every other human being on the planet. Namely, a fucking nightmare.

But do you get what I'm saying here? A ballet might be the most fun thing ever for you. It sounds like fucking torture for me.

And taking the ballet example again... for me, as it would be fucking torture, even that could be fun. If I liked being tortured. But if I did NOT like being tortured, then it would be not fun. See how that works?

It's like proving a negative. Fun could be playing with puppies or being stabbed repeatedly by sharp fucking pokey things, depending on who you are. Not fun would require it to be something that you dislike and then doing simply because you dislike it while getting no enjoyment from it.

Fuck, even a masochist loves the endorphin and adrenaline rush from getting the shit beaten out of them. So they're getting something out of it.

So saying that you like having a good time and having fun is fucking stupid. The only thing you're saying is "Hi, I'm not batshit crazy and do not want to be absolutely miserable all the time without getting enjoyment from my misery."

I think it should be assumed at this point.

Then again, some people are fucking nuts.
