God, you're turning into me, I would SO say that.
Or GOD forbid I'm turning into you.
You know Kastere, words have the power to cut deep. From what you say you have no real understanding of what we're talking about, and share that in a way that is really immature and senselessly offensive. This puts off people who might want to share their own viewpoints that have real thought behind them for fear of being trashed. If anything I think your attitude shows that of a trendy shittop hipster. 
There's no room for that in the middle of a serious discussion... but then the whole 'venue' here (OWF) is not exactly all that serious; those are the breaks I suppose.
The only thing I can begin to extract from what you said about 'trendiness' is what I refer to 'spiritual fluffiness.' This is the taking of long established traditions and turning them into something 'modern' and 'trendy' for the sake of turning a profit... kind of like the 'new age' movement; go into a 'trendy' new age shop and spend all day buying crystals and incense and other 'fluffy' and practically meaningless things. This is spirituality? No. It's trendy fluffy nonsense with no connection to our past heritage or anything. It's empty.... but the buying makes people think that they are doing something truly 'spiritual' through the action. |
OR, you don't actually understand what I was talking about.
