Wishing doesn't make it so.

To Jogchem 		a small changewishing.here Jogchem, 12 Dec 2011 06:46
What do you think? Previous version:

Wishing doesn't make it so.
Wishing only creates a wish,
which you can then pretend
is all you really need.

Current version:
Wishing leads to nothing.
Nothing but hope,
which you can decide
is all you really need.

No now there's hope. And there's a decision instead of a pretending. What do you guys think of this subtle difference?

To Rosibutterfly 		dunno ... Rosibutterfly, 12 Dec 2011 12:35
why you bothered!

To Jogchem 		I bothered Jogchem, 13 Dec 2011 10:14
because I like to make sense. I wouldn't want people to miss the point because of my english.

''...leads to nothing but a wish, which you can decide is really all you need.'' For me that rings truest.

To Jogchem 		How about... Jogchem, 13 Dec 2011 10:08
Wishing leads to nothing but hope, which you can decide is really all you need.

To Jogchem 		I'd like to add hope because Jogchem, 13 Dec 2011 10:12
I'm afraid not everyone will understand 'wishing leads to a wish'. Personally, I like that phrase, but I'm not sure people get it. It might not make sense to everyone. Then again... It's a little late to start worrying about that now.

To Nothing 		ha ha! yes a little late perhaps. less sense is more geddit, 13 Dec 2011 18:57
please do not worry about people getting it. your brothers on the dark side in marketing can take care of that. just do your creative thing.

all the time I've spent
on wishing.

To Bobappeal 		Well-o-well... Bobappeal, 14 Dec 2011 23:35
... I prefer Dreaming!

The current version contains more hope :)
The older version implies that all hope is gone/meaningless, where the current one implies the whole ''hope is in the eye of the beholder'', which I think is really sweet and meaningful.

I'm going to take a shovel and push it inside you're asshole. Then I'm going to pull it out and do it again right after I lick it.

A sincere wish arisen from meaningful thoughts and sensitive awareness, can encorage confident conduction.

Whether making the wish a veritable circumstance,
or the outcome of a selective process,
Knowing the difference between a only percived and a performed manifestation of ones surreal creations has an effect.
It doesen't make any wish redundant to me, but can create a second wish to proceed the first one.

Oh sweet irony

I like the subtile difference between the two conclusions of yours.

To Wastadime 		The first one Wastadime, 22 Jan 2017 01:02
Now I like the first one better.

Since I'm new to this website I didn't know about the previous version, but for some reason I prefer the new one. I like to think that a positive and hopeful mindset leads to good things.

How are you?

To Sjeu 		To synchronize it Sjeu, 11 Mrt 2023 19:19
with the Dutch site,
I would suggest this;

Wishing leads to nothing.
Only awareness of some desire and
maybe the illusion that this is all you truly need.

Dutch version;
Wensen leidt tot niets.
Niets dan de wens zelf en wellicht
de illusie dat dat het enige is wat je echt nodig hebt.

If I'm alone, will the world exist if I die?

What will happen to the world if I'm gone?

Will it cease to exist?

Will more of me be created?

If so, why aren't there any now?

Do I have a purpose?

Will I dream if I die?

i miss you

you are a tad egocentric

To Rip. 		You missed some good questions. . . Rip, 12 Dec 2011 04:25
Am I real, or only imagining I am?

Do those people and things around exist only in my imagination?

Are there others imagining at the same time?

If so, do any of them imagine ME?

Will I imagine them imagining me?

Why am I imagining at all?

How can I find out if I'm imagining.

The answer to all these questions exists only in your imagination, I suppose. After all, I'm only imagining I'm writing this.

To Nothing. 		Is the butterfly Zhuangzi? transformation of things, 12 Dec 2011 19:57
or is Zhuangzi the butterfly? Etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhuangzi#The_butterfly_dream

To Rip. 		Certainly! Rip, 13 Dec 2011 02:44
I agree. In fact, there is a certain logic to what you say, even if you donn't say it.
