I am Emo


'pffft--- I'm emo' [Original Neon Genesis: Evangelion, 1997]

I've Watched Rebuild Of Evangelion 1.0 after a much anticipated wait of 6 years.
They've reused the hedgehog's dilemma

'The hedgehog's dilemma, or sometimes the porcupine dilemma, is an Analogy about the challenges of Human intimacy. It describes a situation in which a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one another. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship, this may not occur for reasons which they cannot avoid.

Both Schopenhauer and Freud have used this situation to describe what they feel is the state an individual will find themselves in relation to others. The hedgehog's dilemma suggests that despite goodwill, human intimacy cannot occur without substantial mutual harm, and what results is cautious behavior and weak relationships.
I'm sorry my fellow anime lovers. Hedgehog's Dilemma is a bollock theory made up and used by two emo writers. hedgehogs love cuddling with one another and they do this in large number to keep themselves warm.
btw, the reason for my long absence is that for some pecular reason, my com is unable to upload any form for pics/ video into the web.

Semi-filler

I'm going to start a mini series of random thoughts in my head.
trying to mask the fact that I have not blogged for such a long time.
I think... life is boring after army.
