  • Alright, it's a difference of perspectives. We walk spread around unevenly on a road unknown.

    I won't delete the comment though, if that's something you might be asking. But if you think it's unhelpful, feel free to ask a mod to do it instead .I won't mind or make a circus out of it.

  • It's not about magically fixing forgetfulness. It's more about exploring the subject from every angle. Accepting it can't be done should only happen after everything has been done. But it doesn't mean the exploration should ever stop.

    You bringing up society as a united front when it's been made more and more clear how disjointed it really is makes me chuckle. Every culture has its set of rules. Every group of any kind looks to instill its own private little values into the tolerated mainstream. And the mainstream is just a hodge-podge of ideas that some will fight to the death to defend for some dumb reason. If you feel dehumanized for any reason, then that's an issue of your own self worth that you should look to solve.

    You see whining and semantics. Why can't I do the same? Or am I not allowed for some odd reason? Rest is associated with sleep. Because most people can't sit with an empty mind. They think, they plan, they worry. This way the body might regain some energy, but the mind will still exhaust itself. A restful activity is meant to relax the mind as well as the body. It's slower, yet more balanced. How would that lack a basis in reality?

    I never said one shouldn't show physical affection towards those they care for. I gave an example as to why someone would do it differently. It's not a blame game. Different people have different priorities. If you can't understand why they would do things differently, why do you expect for them to do so for you? By saying you're different, one would expect that comes with the understanding the same can be said for the one you differentiate from. You're different from them, they're different from you. Or else, you're not?

    Interacting with someone and telling them your likes or needs is a form of intimacy. You intimate to them details of yourself. That creates a superficial from of burden where they decide whether to respect or reject these preferences. This might be particular to specific situations because it depends on one's own outlook on things. Can't say i understand it much myself, I threw it out there because it seemed to fit at the time.

    Etiquette, at its core, was invented as a personal religious ritual through which one grew closer with their worshiped spirits or gods. Later it separated and grew into a religious form of control, which the so-called nobility incorporated to showcase their "superiority", but also into sets of organized rules in regards to certain practices. Medicine relied on etiquette to promote the washing of hands before eating, using clean utensils instead bare hands. Education relied on etiquette to promote the correct methods of using and maintaining learning materials. Etiquette, at its core, is order among the chaos. Disparaging it because it was practiced by those you don't like doesn't help your arguments.

    There is little of my reality in your points. And i presume there is little of your reality in mine. Our perceptions of the world don't match. But make no mistake, i make no attempt to dismiss yours, it's just that we're different in train of thought and so, can't really understand each other all that well.

  • And how is my comment not going through the dark to get to the light? I see a dark post and I'm going through it to show a bit of light on things. Just because some people disagree with what the light shows doesn't mean they should crawl back into the dark and hiss at what they see.

  • No. Everything is a shitty hot take. Tis the way of meme generation.

  • The post isn't positive or helpful. It reinforces negativity, feeds anger and increases overall stress. The dark side doesn't have cookies, it feeds on suffering, both of oneself and to others.

    I don't see why a momentary boost with long term unwelcome side effects is preferable to a steadier, but more durable approach on life.

    You do you, but I still think it's bad for you.

  • Remember those parents forgetting their toddlers in cars on hot summer days? Being forgetful is a sin in the sense that if you don't work to resolve it early or be mindful of it, that parent could one day be you.

    The happiness vs potential is kinda shitty. But the world's a shitty place. Having the skills to cope with it is overall better than not. A balance should be sought.

    Some consider rest and restful activity as different, but yeah, all work and no fun makes for a dull child. Or something like that.

    Physical encouragement is seen as education in a world where education is woefully underfunded.

    Intimacy with strangers can be considered as unburdening your worries unilaterally unto them. This can be seen as rude or unwelcome when affected by social woes.

    Etiquette at its core is a form of respect, mindfulness and appreciation. However it is a representation of snobbism when applied artificially.
