>>1993476Oh boy, a semantics game where I get to explain myself and hope that you don't accuse me of further failing to articulate my thoughts while I sit here behind my computer suspecting that you understand what I am saying anyway
>zero sumIt doesn't matter what you do, there is always a gain which comes from the experience - they are not better than you and their lives have not been better than yours and yours has not been better than theirs
>heightened consciousnessYou're probably more aware of what happens to you and why and how because you've spent more time thinking about that stuff. I don't mean heightened consciousness in that meditation new age crap sense of the word, I just mean that you think about stuff more
I use catch all terms to compact these thoughts, but apparently your definitions are rigid.
>>1993480You sit there and say they had better experiences while admitting that you haven't shared any of those experiences? I say that I have been there, I have seen their life and yours and neither is better than the other, both are good and bad in their own ways, and you're not missing anything.
