life is full of ups and downs.. it is a vicious circle..which is full of sorrows and happiness.. when we see onion it is covered with several layers similarly a human life is covered with several roles.. and each role is full of responsiblities which might look good from outer side (like an onion) but as u come across it different phases u start realising the obstacles, hurdles -destiny brings for u.. when we cut onion tears comes out of our eyes.. similarly when someone hurts our feeling or doesn't meet to our expectation we feel depressed and undergo same situation..

A Shrek debate, how fun. :D

Onions and Humans are from different Kingdoms (Animalia, Plantae)

"life is full of ups and downs.. it is a vicious circle..which is full of sorrows and happiness"

An onion is not sentient, nor can it experience emotion.

"when we see onion it is covered with several layers similarly a human life is covered with several roles"

Onion layers perform the same role, nutrient storage, and the transmission of water and nutrients to other layers.

"might look good from outer side (like an onion) but as u come across it different phases u start realising the obstacles, hurdles -destiny brings for u."

An onion's different phases are merely about its biological development and with the vagaries of nature; the onion's life is not set in destiny.

"when we cut onion tears comes out of our eyes.. similarly when someone hurts our feeling or doesn't meet to our expectation we feel depressed and undergo same situation.."

Your analogy is flawed.

I."when we cut onion tears comes out of our eyes"
Self > action > tears
II."when someone hurts our feeling or doesn't meet to our expectation we feel depressed and undergo same situation"
Other > action > tears

To be analogous the other person would have to cry when they hurt us; or the onion cry when we cut it.

So there we have it, the onion is not like us.

Jamcke, humility is for losers and those without enough reasoning abilities.

Britwaller: Have you ever heard of a sense of humor? The way I see it, with a sense of maturity comes a sense of humility. You are clearly lacking of a sense of humility when you take yourself so seriously that you state that "I know it's difficult for some of you to comprehend, but it only proves your own level of stupidity when you so unashamedly vote on a topic because of the avatar, which was obviously the case here. Grow up children." Get over yourself.

pune123: Again, I'm not being serious. You people need to learn to lighten up a bit.

Ten votes, guys? That's pretty sad. I know it's difficult for some of you to comprehend, but it only proves your own level of stupidity when you so unashamedly vote on a topic because of the avatar, which was obviously the case here. Grow up children.

I don't expect you to find meaning in my words; the point of debating is to assert my position over the opposing one, hence I have my own lines and don't need to rely on yours ;)

as spiral said that" no comparision can b made about onion and life" so mam it is an abstract topic.. repetation of my lines and then just adding one line seems u r forcing ohters to rely on ur words.. i don't find any worth meaning for whatever u wrote... sorry babes..

Nothing wrong with semantics. PRO no Framework therefore CON can define.

I do not give wins to lazy people unless they kick major a$$.

There was no major a$$ kicking by the PRO.
