That doesn't happen too often. Maybe if it was a burial urn or something, but this guy makes it sound like it happens all the time. And I feel bad for criticizing, but Japanese people are like regular people. They have different opinions, so why does he act like they all think that way colectively? Nice post though:)
Well, there's no need get snippy, Mgoveia.
But if you want real life examples, how about these:
I know of a psychologist that was sexually abused by her father for years as a young girl, but she took that terrible ordeal and all the psychological problem that accompanied it, and turned it into a way of connecting to those that went through similar things and helping them on their way to living a more fullfilling life.
Or another psychologist I know that had a lot of trouble completing her studies because of dyslexia and now works to help diagnose this in others so they can get help sooner than she did.
Or this girl I know who had 2 alchoholic parents who neglected and abused her her entire childhood, but she went on to see and treat people as lovingly as if they were family. Because she now believes family doesn't lie in blood but in love and she is by far the most loving person I know.
There are TONS of examples where people turn hardships into something beautiful.
I did re-read the post and it seems very clear to me: you wanted real life examples of why it's beautiful when people overcome hardships and turn them into something valuable, I gave them to you.
You say I misunderstood, fine, that can happen, so I gave you the chance to explain what I misunderstood. The fact you refuse to explain yourself when given the chance tells me you have no standpoint to explain and suggests you simply had nothing substantial to say to my previous post and tried to play it of...
Wow. Reading comprehension really isn't your strong suit, is it?
Think that all you like, but why should I waste more time explaining when you can't even bother absorbing what's already been written?
You keep playing it off as if you've made some very important point, but there simply isn't one. If there is, I stand corrected, but do enlighten us. What is this grand point we seem to be missing? If you simply refuse to explain yourself again, I can only assume you really have nothing to say and are trying to play yourself off as smarter than you really are.
I have to help you out here, people are a lot smarter than you seem to think they are. No one is fooled into believing you actually made a point and the longer you refuse to adress this, the more obvious your own lack of intelligence becomes.
In response to edit above:
Nothing you said needed "absorbtion"
Perhaps you don't understand how my examples relate to the post? The people I talked about are imperfect and troubled, with serious issues and psychological disorders but they try hard to fill in the cracks with something beautiful. If you can't see that, I'm sorry for you.
If you're not simply "playing it off" and are convinced I misunderstood something, or that I don't know the type of people this post is reffering to, try looking at the name of the person that posted this. Try explaining why my examples don't match the post. Try explaining your standpoint at all.
Still have nothing substantial to say about the post, or the examples I gave you?
I can't say I'm surpised. I can only say that I find it distasteful.
I made this post to highlight the strenght some people have. How despite their troubles and even psychological disorders they try hard to create something beautiful. That you would say something so crude as " your baggage is unattractive" about these people truly saddens me.
Not just for the people that could be helped by others looking at them more positively, but also for yourself. I truly believe that if put more value on the cracks in the surface, you will miss the gold that's in between. And that's truly only your loss.
