    I have decided to renounce the ''Thanks System'' and resist as a non conformist the urge to ''thank'' posts. Feelsgoodman. I am free from entrapment. Enjoy low self esteem and the eternal quest for validation from complete strangers. #Buddha #BuddhaSayings #Buddhawisdom

    Budd Haw is Dom? It all makes sense now. Never liked that Dom guy.

    It is ok. Due to individuality merely being a function of the universe experiencing itself,
    Buddhas' Ayings too.

    Are you a member of the looney left?

    Sounds like something Boyd Barrett would protest over.

    Give in man. Just do it. Just once. Just one last thanks. It's definitely the last time. You know that. I know that. The next time will be the real last time. Just one more thanks. Just one more fvcking thanks. You just need one more final thanks. Then you're good. Then you can stop. Just one. Just to take the edge off. Just to set you up like. Then it'll be far easier. Just one more.

    if I made a quick durty thanks, I just know the guilt would haunt me until I logged in and furtively unthanked that post while hoping nobody spotted me. Its a vicious cycle.

    But guilt is just an internalisation of the views of others. It's not real. It's not your real views. You could even start another account and thank a couple of posts with that. No one has to know. No one will know. Just think of the feeling. Right when you click that little button and your name pops up at the bottom of the post in that glorious electric blue. There's your name right there. Your mark. Letting the world know you have approved that message and/or quip. It has your seal of approval now. It means something now. Do it! Just do it once! Just to see if it feels like you remember. C'mon, just do it. You know you want to. Just once. That's all. Just one little time. Go on. Do it. You'll like it. You know you want to. Who are they to judge you. Do it. You want to. What shouldn't you do something you want. Who are they? Do it.
