    This meme screams of someone like my 16 year old son with Asperger’s so I’ll answer it with the same response I would give him.

    Because there are things called social norms and whether you like or agree with them or not they exist and if you don’t learn to adopt them you will isolate yourself.

    The attitude as represented in the meme is destructive when you understand that humans are social creatures and people are not going to want to hang around an insufferable asshole for long periods of time. As such, you need to learn to mask, adapt, or whatever you can do because if you want to succeed let alone survive in life the attitude needs to change or it needs to hide.

    Now for all the people who don’t like this let me ask you this question. Would you rather someone who loves you and cares for you to tell you this harsh reality and help you work through it to be the best you or would you rather learn when the world shuts you out and you end up exceedingly unloved and alone?

    And before someone says “what if I want that?/I want that/I would love that/don’t threaten me with a good time”. Everyone requires some level of human interaction. You need to understand that even those who are your blood will start ghosting you if you are nothing but an insufferable asshole who is miserable to be around.

      Perfectly reasonable but let’s also recognize that some social norms that exist only because of tradition, and are unnecessary & uncomfortable, these social norms need to be questioned & challenged & done away with. When enough people question them and challenge them, and eventually get rid of some unnecessary oppressive social norms, we can continue to evolve as a species.

      Questioning social norms doesn’t necessarily makes you an asshole, it depends on how it is approached.

      By not defying them we will remain stagnant, imagine the downhill slope we would end up on if no one ever questioned why a man shouldn’t love another man or a woman shouldn’t love another woman.

      People shut you down because many are intolerant to change and have their values under scrutiny is seen as hostile, but that doesn’t imply compliance is productive. Of course, you don’t want to this all the time, but teaching your kid to repress their displease of social norms doesn’t sound good either.

      “you are insufferable for asking why”

      “you need to mask, to adapt”

      😬

        Which one? I’m vetting them to see who has the better dental plan. There’s just so many to choose from, it’s tough to decide.

            You’re right. Brahma, the one true god, did all this for us.
            I didn’t know he got rhe romans to kill that imposter on the cross but you learn something new every day.

              Hinduism is false as it commits multiple fallacies in itself, it is a mess of thousands of contradicting books with no unity.

              many modern hindus claim its a “philosophy/way of life not a religion”.

              Hinduism is also slowly dying, and the only reason it has a “billion people” is that the Indian government assumes that everyone is a Hindu at birth, and they made hinduism the “default” religion in their databases

            he expressed the ultimate love to us on the Cross

            By masochistically sacrificing Himself, to Himself, to pay a price He chose to charge of His own free will, in order to cleanse us of the “taint” of actions He considers sins.

            For the sake of argument let’s assume what you believe happened happened and that your god is real. The problem with omnipotence is that you can’t blaim anyone else for the system you set up. The crucifixion didn’t need to happen to “free us from sin”, God wanted to incarnate into a mortal form and be tortured to death. Why? I cannot say, but He could have chosen some other way. He could choose to not threaten us with eternal torture simply for not loving Him. That isn’t love.
