Are you sure about what you witnessed?

Many a time all the name calling is in jest, i'm sure, and more than often new,and old, monks, forget about the care-free spirit of the monastery, especially in the chatterbox.

What I find truly amazing, is that people continually find this type of behaviour/experience amazing.
I my self was somewhat enlightened last month(with a little help from a friend, ofcourse), who remarked that it is better to be kind, and while I agree wholeheartedly, many a monk forget that someone is bound2/has2/should play the "devils advocate". I am not speaking about trolls. Trolls are not identified by a -- vote, but by a unique brand of vulgarity, ignorance, and outright despicability.

"TROLL, TROLL!" - i hear being screamed all the time, and while trolls suck, not everybody is a troll.

Do you want people(monks) to stop(--) expressing(--) their(--) opinions(--)?

How exactly does one gain wisdom(experience) in life(here and everywhere else)?

Maybe brother Thomas was onto something?

 
Anyway, what i'm trying to say, while I am guilty of a lot of things(event troll-like behaviour), I have evolved, will continue to evolve, and you 'n' everybody else should let others evolve.

And another thing, I have yet to find a person that -- a node for "no reason". Whatever the reason, they always had one, wheter or not it was justifiable/logical/other.

Well, it's been a long day, and i took the time out of my busy schedule to write this up, so I leave you with these words of wisdom:
"Live and let die", "Live and let live", "Live and let evolve", and "Live and be nice"!
