This is false advertisement. Life doesn't give a damn about you. So it's up to you and you alone to propel yourself forward.

So when I'm being dragged back it's because I need to kill someone, gotcha.

FieryHammer t1_j8haur3 wrote

Or do you remember how as a kid, other kids literally dragged you back on races so they can get in front of you while you may fall and finish last? Yeah, it could be that too.

Is there any stupid fucking idea that someone can not turn into a getmotivated caption?

This isn't true at all, has the person who made this image never seen a ballista? It fires a static arrow by pulling the bowstring back.

I liked the "life is trying to get you to kill something" version better. 😁

Imagine comparing life with a damn arrow. A rocket can go up without being pulled back.

If the bow doesn’t snap you might just be shot into a tree though

Right? And unlike the arrow, the rocket will fly at Mach whatever and meet its demise with gusto. Unless it’s a self landing, reusable rocket. Then its more like life’s like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, or whatever.

I’ll take the proverbial drop of water that eventually makes its way to the ocean cliché, thankyouverymuch!

If you keep relying on analogies your going to be disappointed. This is just copium.

I think maybe it means. When life pulls you back… make sure you focus on your aim throughout all that tension. After all… what good is movement without direction ? … also homeless people have mental health issues usually so that’s sad and another story as well .

But what to do if life pulling backward only shit but a lot? Make lemonade?

rotating_pebble t1_j8i3s93 wrote

Lol these analogies are getting ridiculous. Life is way tougher with a million more complexities and issues than shooting an arrow.

No a believer in “launching forward”. Gradual consistent efforts will always reign supreme to me.

Fermentomantic t1_j8i4h1x wrote

This is some prime bullshit. More than likely you just get dragged back forever.

Though if I become a billionaire, I'll upvote the post.

Replying to testicular-jihad (#1,805,780)

I was more thinking it feels like I've been drug so far back that if I get released I'll just go splat and die from the amount of force behind the draw. I guess that logic could be extended to those who are homeless because they still definitely have it worse than me.

This has a certain understated stupidity to it.

Or it's getting ready to launch you into something horrible. Or something sad. Or something wet and squishy.

What a stupid metaphor.

One time an arrow I shot snapped upon impact with my dad's wooden garage door. Sometimes being launched forward isn't good.

Damn people are hating on it but i actually liked this one! Like how a sprinter puts a foot back to launch forward.

OK, that is just superstitious nonsense. I'm out.

Arki83 t1_j8jo8ec wrote

I mean only if you are shooting it with a bow. There are plenty of other ways to put an arrow in motion without a bow and not pulling it back.

Hey man that cancer is just a big spring board to launch you onto greater things. Stop complaining

RenzoARG t1_j8js7dn wrote

Yeah, we're arrows, unable to change course once it is set.

AWFUL analogy.

Or maybe it’s just cause life sucks.

Who gives a shit either way? You’re not an inanimate object, you’re a human being. Don’t wait on life to fling you forward, do it yourself

Consequently wouldn't that mean being pulled forward is gonna result in a launch into failure?

Did anyone else see this and interpret the illustrations as the arrow being turned on yourself at the end?

1

rainmace t1_j8kvkpn wrote

I think you’ve made quite a leap of logic here, you’re saying BECAUSE an arrow has a certain quality, life is that way too. That’s like saying, because apples only grow from trees, when you find yourself growing out of a tree, don’t worry, you’ll be turning into a nice delicious apple soon
