olympus mon said:the Dalia llama was once being interviewed by some British journalist about his exile from Tibet and the perilous journey fleeing the Chinese army hot on the small entourage's tale. each day the group just barley stayed one step ahead of the advancing army knowing full well that they would be immediately executed if captured.
the journalist kept exclaiming "sir you must have been terrified, you were in such danger at all times". he only nodded and then would tell some more story only later to have a different journalist exclaim "sir, you must have been so scared you were in such danger!" again the Dalia llama nodded his head yes and gently continued.
when this happened for a third time the llama stopped everyone so he could speak. he simply said "yes, yes my friends we were all in grave danger. we were in danger of hating the Chinese"
It can definitely relate to me lolDMTripper said:Hey my first post was in no way addressed at you. I hadn't even read all the posts. I just wanted to post my view. It was you that took it to yourself. That might tell you something about yourself.

and please dont say things like "would you enlighten me..."

Yeah, absoloutely! Almost 100% of the time when somone says 'enlighten me' they really mean: 'you're not enlightened... just explain blahblahblah to me and you'll see!'

Funny, the first time I heard that phrase used was directed at me from a Mod on this very site!
It went quite unnoticed however.
I'm skeptical of those who say they achieve enlightenment, it's not such an easy thing to do.
Those are wise words Vovin, and also magickal teachings of the highest order... and so I did. I do.vovin said:I hope that all would follow their own path and follow none other.
Electric.Sight said:I believed the nexus' values circled around openness and acceptance, does that only apply if I share your beliefs on social structure and interactions?
I may be putting some beliefs and values into question, but am I not in my right to do so?
Maybe time will show I'm wrong and lesson learned, or maybe it will show otherwise.
In the meantime I haven't hurt a single person with what I've said, and have not attacked anyone. I don't see the deal?

I don't think your opinions on hate caused much problem, but you took a very antagonistic attitude throughout. Also, schizm's joke was completely out of line and inappropriate for the forum. Your defense of it, and the self-centered line of reasoning it contained really spoke loudly. It seems to me that you jump from point to point on the surface of what this thread addressed instead of thinking about the underlying issues.
