This poll was brought to you by my dreams, in which I for some reason had to respond to these questions, and others like them. It was the worst gameshow ever.

Date: 2007-03-20 04:23 pm (UTC)As for the middle one? Physical pain passes faster than either of the other options. That, and I've got two eyes, but only one soul -- and I rarely rely on sight much anyway, since mine is so bad.
Besides, eye-patches look dashing.

Yes.
(I found it funny that there were two different meanings of the same phrase)

Date: 2007-03-20 05:14 pm (UTC)Although I do have to giggle about people that can't wait to go to Valhalla, but don't do any sort of martial art in their mundane life. How do they KNOW eternal battle would be fun? 8-)

Date: 2007-03-23 11:30 pm (UTC)This is off topic but: for what it's worth eternal battle is pretty close to my vision of hell. Whether or not I can be considered to be speaking from experience is, perhaps, a matter for debate.
Here's my working theory on this though: The physical stresses of battle are obvious, though those who have never fought for their lives/wellbeing universally underestimate it. But the real catch is that in battle you are responsible. Your life is in your own hands. You MUST NOT make a mistake. The stress of that is crippling and all but unbearable for any period of time. Add that to the fact that you might succeed--do everything right, and still die and you have a recipe for a large portion of mental anguish. At least in torture you are released from the need to actively participate. Torture is inflicted upon you, you can't stop it. You aren't responsible. I feel that reality contains the possibility of some release--you can distance yourself from it. Not so battle.
I suppose in the raiding days battle was perhaps preferable to slaving away in the fields to satisfy another man's hunger. But given modern living standards eternal battle sound like a pretty significant downgrade...

But that's just me. Like

None of the Above!
