Meanwhile, I'm on one hand trying to develop spiritually and let shit go and be loving amd forgiving and adopt a "turn the other cheek" mentality, yet on the other hand, I am staying up late watching Youtu e videos that narrate Reddit posts that all tell stories abouy revenge and basically getting a revenge boner from listening to them. Glad to know though that letting go of shit and forgiving causes things to catch up with them. I've heard as much before. Just a word of warning though: you may not want to mention karma on your posts. I can't remember who it was who warned me about that, Ben or Shannon, but I do remember being warned about it being a violation of rule 4 myself. I've acrually violeted rule 4 multiple times and been told: "We've warned you multiple times. You can't pretend you don't know. Knock it off." So I'm just sayin... Be careful about rule 4.
I know, I know.
Hopefully, the fact that I used it in the common proverbial sense, as in "what comes around, goes around", won't be considered a rule 4 violation. I picked this habit up from reading Clavell's "Shogun", they'd keep going all "karma, neh?" in the book on all kinds of stuff and I found it amusing.
There's a silver lining to everything - a lot of times the fact that I'm a big guy (though I'm only about 5.9, which is pretty short for a heavy) actually draws angry lowlifes (and insecure boys) into trying to go all alpha on me. It's been going on since at least junior high, lol.
I don't know whether I'd necessarily call what I'm doing the "turn the other cheek" mentality, TBH (or maybe I'm just not that light-side Jedi yet, lol); honestly my motivations are primarily self-serving in nature. I do get the revenge boner thing; had this going regarding women actually for quite some time, especially later on the previous version of DMSI; I'd sublimate it by listening to angry, thematically relevant metalz and industrialz \m/
