Jedi who get offended.

Jedi who are more concerned with right and wrong than learning.

Jedi who assume the worst.

Jedi who are more concerned about others than themselves.

Jedi who confuse dominance with strength.

Jedi who have no faith.

Jedi who have no patience.

Jedi who demand what they cannot understand.

Jedi who run themselves ragged.

Jedi who display no self discipline but demand it of others.

Jedi, Jedi, Jedi.

Jedi.

Some people sure rant a lot.

Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.

I wonder why some people don't get the idea of recusing themselves, and insist on taking themselves (and the people in their group) down because they have an ego. I get you don't like my suggestion, but making it personal is taking it over the line, and sadly changed my opinions.

You're not better, and most of all shouldn't have any power, if you can't take responsibility for your actions.

I wish the best for everyone, don't make that ethos hard to follow.

You cannot be serious. You simply cannot be serious.

Eckhardt Tolle has written about the Toxic effect that complaining has on people in groups. It forms a whirlpool of Negativity where everyone joins in , almost a contest who's personal injury exceeds everyone else's. As the 80's Matthew Broderick movie War Games taught us: " the only winning move is not to play!"

Yup, two weeks I'm done with classes... and, despite passing every single course except one, I'm not graduating. Fan-fookin-tastic.

Change takes time and there is no guarantee the person you want to change will do so dramatically or otherwise in a fashion you want. You are not stuck with them. If the long haul, with no promise of reward, is not worth it, I suggest you end the relationship.

Again, he chooses to hide from the truth, taking advise and a helping hand for an insult. Again, he decides to commit to his promises in favour of the delusional reality he's created for himself. I've given you enough help, to be that person that will tell you that your face is dirty. Why? Because I cared for the betterment of this place.

Be like water, indeed. The same water that can level buildings can end up in a puddle growing algae. And you, my friend, are still and green water. You've grown comfortable in the hole you've found yourself in

No. I don't have an issue with you because of what you think.

My only issue with you has ever been your attitude towards me. That much I can, and usually do, ignore. It makes for a much more peaceful working environment.

But I can't ignore you saying I have an issue with you over that thing, because of that reason. Not when it goes against everything I am and everything I believe. The very reason why you seem to think I have that issue with you is why I don't. And I hope you figure that out soon. . .

Again people get away with attacking me for no reason.

Not even the first time this year. Backwards, all of it.

Same useless banter, cries and demands for attention by creating disruption, different day...

*stretches*

Feels good to only check in once every two weeks or so, so much less useless and pointless BS to deal with, so much more time to do good for others who actually need it.

So many useless Jedi checking in just to bash those of us that actually give a shit and continue to try. So glad their negative and judgemental presence is only present on occasion.

How would you feel if you knew I wouldn't be here tomorrow?

Would you still be too busy?

Would you still have other plans?

And yet, none of us know when our time is suddenly up, not you, and not me.

So what does this mean?

*sigh* It's not really a Temple anymore. It feels like a magnet for malcontent. Am I losing faith?
