This
is an attitude that I wish more people shared. Who wins when you get so
upset over stuff? I'm pretty sure nobody does. Everything just
escalates and gets worse. This thread should be a convincing example.
Law of unintended consequences. No good deed goes unpunished. Friends to
the rescue? More like fanning the flames.
Is the Anon posting
about Zal really hurting her? I find that difficult to believe, unless
she's made of paper. But hey, some things aren't meant to be widely
known, right? In that case, though, the lesson is to keep such things
that way, not to do the whole righteous indignation act ex post facto.
Again, who wins. Rrrrr, I'm angry. Great, you're angry.
Likewise,
is Hobbes really hurting Solude's daughter by calling her retarded? Of
course not, and it's stupid to think otherwise. Does an ostensibly happy
child suddenly stop being that way because somebody said something rude
on the internet? Come on, sound of one hand clapping, trees falling in
the forest when nobody's around, you get the idea.
Anything can
be funny. The secret of course is that in order to be funny, you must
first be funny. If Hobbes is going to be funny, then great. If not, just
let him keep digging. More important to understand is that you can't
control what others do. Ever. You can, however, control your mood.
Always.
The irony here is that this is a lesson best learned from
Hobbes himself. People get upset and try to tear him down, but he
doesn't let them. Instead, he frequently turns things around and takes
ownership of the situation to at the same time repeat the process and
protect his ego. |
