Don't just read three words. Read the whole thing and figure out what it means. It implies that developing other traits, such as intelligence, sense of humor, loyalty, etc is what is important for success as a man/woman.
@toclafane by this point i'm 99% certain you're a literature teacher or an art critic. only those people are able to read some crazy, impossible, made-up meanings in very simple, obvious words. Congratulations on your imagination but you still have no right to lecture anybody, sorry!!
I am neither. I do biomedical science and biotechnology. Perhaps I am just used to analyzing to find a meaning. In my experience, most people are lazy and write the minimum amount they can, so the words mean much more than they explicitly say. There is nothing crazy or impossible about my logical extrapolation. Also, I do have the right to write or say anything that I want, and I accept the consequence that someone will whine to me about it.
what does 'fail as a man/woman' even mean? are we, as human beings, defined by the number of people we attract?? is this some ultimate purpose of our lives that renders us to nothing if we suck at it? Are you being fucking serious here or did you just accidentally slam your face at the keyboard and then this post happened?
No, try thinking about what the statements mean, instead of being condescending (especially since you have no reason to feel superior, since you are both wrong and rude). If you need help thinking a bit more deeply about what it means to "fail as a man/woman", read my earlier comment.
I did. Sort of sucks a lot. You do realise it's not fair to make up meaning behind some very obvious words and try to lecture everybody else because they read it as it is written??
I congratulate you on your imagination, again, and politely ask you to please keep your largest facial orifice closed on this matter.
I am simply trying to show that there is such a thing as thinking deeper about what you read. In this case, you are the one that actually made up a meaning with "are we, as human beings, defined by the number of people we attract", I merely combined and simplified the statements. The original statements said nothing about attracting a large number of people to be the defining factor of being a human. In reference to your next question, it actually is your biological purpose to attract someone of the opposite gender, engage in sexual intercourse, and ensure the survival of your offspring. You are not "nothing" if you do not do this. Also, I do not need my mouth to be open in order to type; it does not surprise me that you do.
Like if I would bother to make people like me
I congratulate you on your imagination, again, and politely ask you to please keep your largest facial orifice closed on this matter.
