.003 - food for thought

If out of sight is out of mind, then how does absence make the heart grow fonder?

[Private to T'Pol]

I have an odd question for you.

You forget the most recent things that angered you first.

[captain_jtkirk]

It was a rhetorical question based on two contradictory Earth sayings but I give you mad points for answering it literally.

Anyone is free to notice the Marquis isn't going "OH! You're Back, Kirk!"

[impure_tale]

So when will you be departing?

Thanks jerk :|

[captain_jtkirk]

... what?

[naughtbutlife]

Absence does not make the heart fonder. It makes it heavier.

[captain_jtkirk]

The saying says fonder. But I agree with your interpretation.

[naughtbutlife]

The saying was surely meant to give hope to those who have none. It always gave me such little comfort to hear it spoken.

[captain_jtkirk]

So you're one of those, out of sight out of mind people?

[Private]

[with_discipline]

Yes?

[captain_jtkirk]

Are you versed in mind melds?

[Private]

[with_discipline]

[...Hng.] I am. Is this about your memories?

[Private]

[captain_jtkirk]

Would you help if it was?

[notarrowette]

Out of sight is never out of mind. Some of those sayings are just bullshit.

[captain_jtkirk]

If birds of a feather flock together, then how do opposites attract?

[notarrowette]

...Do you have a book of phrases you're pulling these from, or something?

[captain_jtkirk]

No, I'm just that clever and that bored.

[captain_jtkirk]

A lot of proverbs do if you think about it.

[captain_jtkirk]

There's no such thing as a free lunch.
