When someone makes you mad, GO AHEAD AND SOUND MAD

It's like a finger pointing a way to the moon. Don't concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory

You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend
The usefulness of the cup is in its emptiness. If you do not empty your cup of your tea, how can you taste anyone else's tea?

So true. It's why I question people who say to never compromise on anything. When you give up all flexibility, you're almost dead.
This is actually a buddhist philosophy based on the image of the wheel of life, buddhist iconography
There's little to get mad about at shitposts from anon. Especially when you yourself are also him. We are all anon and just humble meme farmers in the end.
No one's mad about the posts.
Well, it needs to be said. I need to brush up on Bruce quotes.
I'm not mad about the posts, I'm questioning why it's a good idea to bottle up your anger when it's justified?

It's good to be sincere, but you don't have all the outlets and tools to deal anything except the real world (and I don't mean necessarily violence. You can't even talk man to man/face to face except irl).
Something something Bruce Lee scene in that overrated Tarantino movie.
Movie would have been so much better if Bruce Lee had shown up at the end to argue with the stuntman and had beaten the Manson gang to death.
It would've been better if it didn't repeat the same slow boil format from H8ful 8 and Quentin not sucking off Polanski's polish pedo sausage from afar.
Zoomers have convinced themselves that caring about anything is the worst possible outcome. Inner city black projects style thinking.
Really sorry to hear that, That's a way to make yourself miserable and shorten your life.
Admitting that you're mad is a form of sincerity
The entire modern world is absolutely petrified at the thought of being sincere
It's just cowards projecting their cowardice
In the real world maybe. Not on the internet.
>Not on the internet.
It's even worse on the internet, don't kid yourself. If anything it's gotten worse.
Man, that seems so true, When you have to say you like something "Unironically" because so many are afraid to come out and say they like anything without distancing themselves.
Same in reverse, saying you like something "Ironically" is like an attempt to shield yourself. You still like it, even if it has flaws, but you're afraid of owning up to the fact that you like it outright. So you add "ironically" and now you have a magic little ego shield.
That's sad. I'm glad sometimes I'm old and can say what I want without really caring what my peers think.
I just say what I want anyway, caring what others think about you is for insecure people.
Eh, it's also a good way to get them to cooperate and it can show you your mistakes so you can improve.
>The entire modern world is absolutely petrified at the thought of being sincere
This pretty much sums up my life. My sincerity makes everyone else feel insecure and they get upset with me.
I'd say the problem there is not you but them.
The end result is the same though. I am in the world but not of the world.
That's great, Best thread today.
Do not pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.
I would tell you but fools deserve to fall.
You're kidding yourself if you think you're wise.
I'm glad no one ever made mad enough or that I've calmed myself down before I did something that would ruin my life. I'm afraid of myself. Last time things went a bit far was 20 year ago when I put a kid taller and stronger than me on the ground and he was throwing up whatever was on his stomach and I only realized what I did once I was on top of him. I basically abandon humanity and go for it.
I was lucky in school that I was pretty tall and intimidating looking (but a teddy bear inside) that I was never bullied. So I was spared a lot of what guys go through.
I was tall too, but frail, so got bullied in primary school, until I took steel toe caps, kicked the shit out of them and then they became my friends. The c**t I jumped in secondary school decided to steal something from me. He then jumped me with 3 or 4 friends, but by taking him down again the others ran away. He then told his older brother, which clearly didn't want to get in the way but had to, so he just told me to stay away from his brother. I said he started it, he said ok, just stay away. That was it until I traded punches with a brazilian due to hearing racist things from my dad. We ended up becoming friends and I've talked to him for 18 years.
It's a cliche because it's true but you can't give in to bullies. They will escalate and never leave you alone if you do. I think the pressure to not fight back is behind all the suicide and self-harm.
5. “Don’t fear failure. Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.”
I'M AS MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE
More true today than ever.
The weakness in that philosophy is that many people think they're right (and everyone else is wrong) mistakenly. It's been used to justify many crimes.
Everyone thinks they're right anon. The difference is between people who can find out they are in fact wrong and change and those who can't/won't.
Going around thinking you're wrong about everything is mental illness.
It's hard to actually admit you're wrong even to yourself, let alone to others. Sometimes it feels like passing a kidney stone, but you feel better when it's done. I don't know if it ever gets easier.
