It is melancholy to think how enslaved we as a society have become to the contrived laws of hipness and swagger. It is no longer acceptable to crave education. It is suddenly h’omos’exual to betray the laws of mental ineptness. How to live without getting shot is of more profound importance than how to better ones life. Expressing ones feelings is now an offense punishable by relentless silent ridicule and inevitable banishment from the Garden of Inanity. And now, it is only good to parade vanity, while it is only bad to lack gregariousness. Naturally, this is not universal truth; but observe for long enough the same disease, and it will inevitably pass into truth. Or so it would seem as the number of pure souls who venture into the darkness of vicious lies and deceived constitutions exponentially multiply. But I am convinced that right is relative only to the frame in which it is witnessed; indeed, good and bad are but names very readily transferable to that or this; the only right is what is after [ones] constitution, the only wrong what is against it. It is what one feels; honestly, exactly, and genuinely; to be correctnothing else. And anything that betrays what is conceived to be correct, regardless of whether or not the entire world stands on the other side, is indiscriminate ignorance and absolute incorrectness.
Plainly, our society too often feels that what is understood as truth in overwhelming consensus is in fact universal truth. But there is no such hoax as universal truth. What is believed to be right for one, even if an entire carbon-copied crowd thinks this same thing to be right, is certainly not considered right for another. And how could it be? No two persons are precisely identical. Each one possesses his own infinitely good uniqueness that should be nourished and lovednot hated and retreated. It is in the emulation of what others perceive to be correct that disseminates ones self into millions of unrecognizable fragments of a whole. Eventually the soul is lost to his own misunderstanding of right. Great shall be the day where everyone derives individually, not uniformly, right; for right can only be deduced in exploration of the pure, absolute appreciation of ones self. Right is, for one, what he decides, and no other is to question this correctness for himothers are to find it for their own selves.
So, it is obvious then that not everyone feels the same way about certain rules or laws. For the sake of relevance, imagine such “laws” as kill stealing. I trust it is easily appreciated that kill stealing is one of the most evident unspoken rule in Maple Story; “How dare you enter into my training spot!” one may say. But, contrary to such commandments as “Thou shalt not hackzor”, kill stealing is an understood law that is derived purely from the culture that it governs. So, even though millions may feel similarly towards kill stealing, no two people have the same precise attitude for it. What’s more is that someone may feel that it does not exist at all; “Who are you to tell me how to play this game?” he may retort. It must then be understood that although one person may feel a certain way about kill stealing, it is not alright for him to impose his beliefs on another. He must respect another’s beliefs and accept them as goodness for that person; he is no one to tell someone else how to feel or act
Uh, what’s with the title? o.O
And, from what I have gleaned from your oh-so-intelligent-and-advanced-vocab-speech, you’re saying that KSing is looked upon differently by people. Which is true, I guess.
Most people here probably will not know this, so I suppose I should explain it right away. The quote I used in the first paragraph is from Emerson’s “Self Reliance.” The entire nature of the piece is essentially that the individual is greater than the masses, that people must learn how to find their own truths for themselves without laboring under what others believe to be truth. Basically, he proposes that good and bad, along with basically anything else, is relative only to an individual person.
With that said, you must next draw upon your knowledge of physics (which for some may be non-existent). Einstein discovered the laws of relativity (which has been called Einstein’s Theory of Relativity after himself). The law basically (very basic actually) states that in different frames of references, the laws of the universe change. Someone not moving will age faster than someone who is moving.
So, the title is derived from his law. I figured that since both laws revolve around a frame of reference that is constantly changing and both people’s names begin with an “E”, I could then just make a switch and create an effective title.
The sheer awesomeness of your seemingly infinite vocabulary has confuddled me once more. *attempts to reread*
so your trying to stretch out that because someone kses me, i shouldn’t get mad at them for believing ksing is good, if they are to think that, and what if it inhibits me from training. What am i to do then? Do i have a right to speak against their thought of having fun while putting me down?
I never said you had to agree with what he thinks. I simply said that you must accept them as correct for him. “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
It is greatness to feel strongly for something. For example, if you feel strongly that kill stealing does exist in the way that 90% of people see it, then by all means fight for what you believe in. “God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.” If someone tries to take your spot, even though you feel that kill stealing is wrong, then fight for it back.
All I am saying is that you must appreciate the guys feelings as true and good. It does not mean you have to agree with it.
Summarize it in one word, cause I’m not reading all that

i kinda just got pwned,
but 1` more question, If the guy kses me, swears at me, and then does a racial/maple sterotype at me, , and lets say i defend mysellf, and he goes stfu/w/e nub and continues to ks without saying 1 more word, and i can’t get nay kills what so every, am i to contnue to try to prove my point, or has he proven his point with force rather than knowledge, and there is nothing i can do about it?
lol, hes saying that w/e someone does, believes, or otherwise is to be respected as their way of living.

Track his IP, and send a nuke.
LOLGANZ. Pwnt. >D
wewt,
EDIT: anyone got a nuke i can borrow trade for a muffin
There is a difference in acting how you believe and not acting how you believe. Most likely, just as the overwhelmingly mass majority of instances like this will yield, the guy is just acting out of vanity and belligerence. He probably has no constitution vindicating his actions. In a nutshell, this is the disease of the world: people betray their constitutions. And there is very little cure for this disease. Plan and simple, we are often too weak to counter it.
For an example, imagine a person back in ancient Japan. He sees a group of bandits raping a woman, an act that he honestly and genuinely believes to be evil, so he wants to stop him. He naturally then has two choices. He can try to stop them and die (which would be the equivalently of you fighting even though you are too weak and are unable to kill any monsters) and die knowing that he stood up for what he believes is right, or he could walk away knowing that he can’t prevent the disease in his weakness (which would be the equivalently of you simply walking away).
Now although the former is very noble, it is rather imprudent. Very few people are willing to die (or, in your case, just waste time) standing up for their constitutions. Although this is one of the greatest things a man can possibly do, it is often not worth going to such an extreme. The latter, however, even though it is inevitably admitting one’s weakness, is the wise choice. Knowing that you cannot prevent such diseases from happening is a very great thing.
There is, of course, a case where a man is very strong and has the ability to prevent things. Imagine the same case, but this time add a skilled swordsman. When he sees the event happening, he could just kill the bandits (equivalent of Dragon Knight dragon roaring the crap out of an invader). So, he then has two choices: he could, like mentioned, kill the bandits, or he could walk away.
It is obvious that acting on your constitution and standing up for what you believe in is a great thing, as mentioned. The first choice he has would be doing just that, thus making him great. However, he still can just walk away. And he could do this for one main reason: he knows that this is just an insignificant offense of the world; him stopping one offense will not cure the world. Therefore, he settles for knowing that the world cannot be cured, and accepts that as a fact. And this is also a great thing.
So, to answer your question, I would just walk away. In fact, whenever someone comes into my channel, I immediately leave (even though I am strong enough to make them leave). I do this because I know that making one leave will not make the community of Maple change. So, in walking away, you are actually not the loser, as long as you believe that you are not the loser. If you buy into the entire “leaving means you lose” bull crap that the Maple society has contrived, then you will always lose. It takes a strong person to just walk away when the time is right and prudent.
You spelled “theory” wrong. >O
o.O
This is a MMO website. . .
Not a long confuzzling boring topic website T_T
XD
Which is why I seldom say nor do anything when people walk into a map I’m already training in. In fact, if they start to kill stuff, I’ll simply go the opposite way from them, and still manage to kill enough. *shrugs* I figured if I don’t like people tell me to CCPLZ when I simply walk past, I shouldn’t do it to others as well.
Interesting blog.
