Martin...what up Happy New Year!
why tiptoe?? high step through it...fck what they think ... this is the key to freedom... once fck what they think becomes ones reality then one is truly free to think and speak as one chooses...not everyone is gonna like you for it but you being yourself will gain the respect and admiration from the ones that really matter in life. it may take time but people understand things differently in time... its like when Aristotle called them frozen words... over time the mind matures and begins to thaw and the words are understood... its the same thing only different...lol
*side note...
ancient taoist sages would sometimes push students out windows, slap the sh!t out of them , etc. to freak/snap the student out of the sedated brain waves... and thus begun their journey on the path to enlightenment... lol its a folk lore type deal... one doesnt recommend actually doing that ... lol for the record...lol
but it was effective as the story goes...😎
