And with that smiley face your passive aggressive attacks and derogatory remarks begin.
I am starting to see a common facet in you meditation folk, you like telling people what to do! Is this a side effect of the mumbling?
For someone who accuses "meditation folk" of things, you are acting like quite a cartoon.
Maybe it's not them but your own behaviour that warrants those responses. Have you thought about that?
Imagine -
Jane doesn't know the abc of basketball but goes into basketball courts to tell the players how what they are doing is wrong and it like doing drugs.
What would the players' response be? Either they would say "Get out!" if they don't want to bother with Jane.
If they are Jane's friends/If they want to be polite they would recommend that Jane try basketball for herself and learn about it before passing judgements on it.
Well I am not much of a scientist,
That's not a surprise. A true scientist at heart wants to learn things. He is curious and he is open to new things. You however dismiss things after having done nothing to understand them.
And when I tell you what you could do, to understand it, you start bitching about it. You yourself asked me for subtitles. As a good friend I gave you the subtitles. If someone else had said that I would have ignored them.
It's like if Jane's friends told her, she needs to play basketball and understand the game before ranting, and instead of taking their advice, she starts bitching at them. What are they supposed to do in that case? Should they abandon Jane altogether? or should they try to get her to see it?
Of course you know what is the best use of my time!
Of course I do. It's simple. If you are going to make a factual claim that "meditation does not have long-term effects", all the while, ignoring studies which show that it does have long-term effects, ie they prove you wrong, then in order to advance the discussion, you are going to have to read those and correct yourself.
You should know that's pretty much what I do, is correct people!
Anyways, so you either read those articles yourself, or you take my word for it. If you do neither of those, then there cannot be a discussion on that topic. This is a discussion forum after all, so you are expected to do one of those things to advance the discussion. You can't skip that part and then throw a tantrum when people tell you that you can't skip it.
I am not a great lover of reading scientific studies, but what I have noticed is the sheer arrogance of the meditation community, I do not meditate, yet I am capable of writing posts, using my own account, and in my own name, without throwing my toys out of the pram, without threatening to leave, without getting angry, without getting stressed, I do believe its called Chardi Kala, and I am pretty sure I do not need to keep topping it up with early morning mumbling.
And this is the tantrum. Meditation people are all arrogant and bullies and you are the victim of their arrogance and bullying. You poor little thing.
" wa wa wa I don't know anything about meditation but I'll throw a tantrum whenever i get corrected on topics I don't know about wa wa wa".
Like I said, it's your behaviour that causes others to respond to you in a way they do. They get fed up with you pestering them without you making any effort to learn.
May I make a suggestion, although as I am not a meditation expert, I probably lack the arrogance and bullying nature, why not try not meditating and just live a little, I know its quite boring, and there is not carrot afterwards, you may not get to see your 13th {censored}, but that would be a better use of your time in my view
You mad bro? you mad?
you may not get to see your 13th {censored}
Oh man you are definitely angry. That's a new insult, haven't heard that from you before. You always get creative when you are angry lol. How long have we known each other now?
