Yes, I knew that. Either way I probably should stay off the weird side of youtube... :oops:

Again, super duper sorry about that.

It was a misunderstanding. You didn't mean any harm! :)

There is a big difference between fake violence (movies) and real violence.

Yeah... :cry:

Still, I think I forgot how to not be offensive. :oops:

That also happens when I try to be funny, or say anything that normal kids make look easy. :cry:

If someone insults me or disagrees with me, I either have two options: 1) get sad or depressed, feeling that I've let that person down or that I'm not worth anything, or 2) do nothing.

The second option is very Zen. Here's a story about the Buddha. One day, the Buddha was doing his daily rounds through a town he was visiting, and he quickly attracted a large crowd who strongly disagreed with his teachings. They yelled and screamed in his face and even physically tried to retaliate, but the Buddha said calmly, "If you are done, please let me pass by. There is another town I wish to visit today." The stunned townspeople watched in disbelief as the Buddha walked on, completely confused as to why he did not react.

Um, no offense, but remind me what's so good about Zen-ifying?

Actually, don't respond to that. The less people hate me, the better.
few, if any, could have truly disliked the humble, patient, unimposing, insightful and gentle company of siddhārtha gautama. most see with two eyes, but have difficulty focusing their sight upon more than one thing at a time, yet he saw indiscriminately as if every cell in his body might as well have been a living eye that could view independently. consequentially, his focus would not get stuck upon anything as if surging water. water has no desire for form, can flood all cracks and openings, permeate to enrich earth, sustain life, and even move smooth the most stubborn and craggy mountainside.

saying "no offense" or similar padding can do little to lessen the blow to those who find things to be offended about anyway.

nobody is mad at you or hates you (here, i think). certainly, i don't. but i wonder why you often assert otherwise.

That is utterly beautiful. :heart: The Buddha saw with everything because he was entirely awake. That in itself is glorious.

I feel like I'm being forced into doing something I don't want to do.
(in terms, of a career area)

But I don't know what I'm going to do otherwise. :cry:

^Go with what you want best, not what everyone else feels you should do. [I had to learn this lesson the hard way, but it is one of the most valuable lessons I have ever learned.]
