Since school begins tomorrow, I just wanted to make a post on something meaningful that could help you or what not. I probably will be posting less frequent (I definitely will.)
I am currently working to "upgrade" my reputation. I no longer want to be looked at as a spammer, but as a fellow forumer. Now, I'm not dumby. I understand that building up one's reputation is not an overnight process, but one that takes time. But I want to make a post about forgiveness. This, for the record, is NOT about forgiving me for what I have done. I'm not going to beg for anyone's acceptance, but I just want to give you a philosophical piece of advice:
I notice in many situations, people are unforgiving. "OMG HE CALLED ME A NUBCAKE IN GAME, I'MMA GONNA GO ON THE FORUMS AND TELL EVERYONE HE'S A BAD PERSON WHO HAS NO FRIENDS AND DOESN'T EVEN LIFT!" This is an example. I have noticed many people on this website are too harsh. People make mistakes and then are forever labeled as bad, with no hope of redeeming themselves. "Once a spammer, always a spammer."
I am, by no means, perfect. I am arguably the most flawed person in existence. At the same time, I accept this and live my life. I have made many mistakes, including the spam attacks on the forum. I regret it, and now my punishment is that I have to work at being a better to undo the crap I posted and more work to gain acceptance from my fellow forumers. I won't beg and plead for acceptance, because words without works is meaningless. I prefer to PROVE my apology by acting out as a more mature member of the forums.
With that said, nobody is perfect. Yes, I am looking at you. YOU are not perfect, my friend. You may be awesome at many things, which is great. But you make mistakes because you are a flawed human (or a machine programmed by flawed humans.) Let me ask you, why do you critically judge others so hard when you, yourself, make mistakes? "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."
Thank you for your time.
TL;DR: Don't be a judgmental jerk. |
