[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a follower of Nichiren Buddhism. Nichiren was a 13th century Japanese Buddhist monk who was persecuted because he told his followers they could chant and practice to take control of their lives and attain enlightenment in their lifetimes. His collected writings are hundreds of letters of encouragement to his followers. The most remarkable thing about the letters is that 13th century Japanese samurai and farmers and peasants and widows complained about the same shit people complain about today. They had problems dealing with other people - family members, neighbors, bosses, government officials, fellow samurai or farmers or peasants, etc. Essentially people have always found themselves surrounded by a**holes who don’t treat them with sufficient respect and make their lives difficult. Nichiren’s samurai follower got into fights defending himself for following Nichiren when he went out drinking with his fellow warriors. Nichiren’s guidance was that is great to stand up for yourself and your beliefs but sometimes you just need to go home and drink sake with your wife. [/quote]

We are exposed to so many more a**holes now though lol.[/quote]
