The Irony of the Yoga Forum

Yoga Discussion General Yoga

Stop me if I’m wrong… but I currently go on about 4 different forums, and the most aggressive by far is the Yoga forum. Does that seem ironic to anyone??

When I think of yoga, I think of peace and tolerance, and UNITY. I think of meditation and lower stress levels, and open mindedness… but I find so much aggression and people attacking each other, that I go to the Mixed Martial Arts forum for some peace and quite… Does anyone see the irony?.. that your views are far more likely to be attacked and criticized on a yoga forum, when compared to a fighting forum!?? I spend about 20% of my posts answering and asking questions, and the other 80% defending myself… am I alone in this observation??

I’ve said this for some time. It is ironic. And very sad.

The irony is that the two of you perpetuate it a tremendous amount. You’re like arsonists complaining about the fire alarms. You’re welcome to go start fires in someone else’s yoga studio if you don’t like this one.

The greatest irony is that if this wasn’t a place of tolerance and peace and I banned the two of you, it would become a place of greater tolerance and peace. Well, at least on the surface. Because then the person in charge of the studio wouldn’t be very tolerant. Of course, we could then delude ourselves into believing that we’re tolerant and peaceful since it’s easy to be tolerant and peaceful when you’ve kicked everyone out who you’re not tolerant of and who upsets your feeling of peacefulness.

See how this works yet?

In the meantime, keep on projecting.
