Whatever you feel like. And if you feel like you have nothing to say, then don't say anything

Well, what I wrote was actually regarding this:

Here, the subject was meditation, but let me tell you a little story: when people said to me that foods can actually change your health and make you feel better, can you imagine what was my reaction?
"Pff, bullshit. I rather continue eating my croissant aux chocolate, than stop eating it. That's ridiculous!" And where I am right now? Writing on a forum where food is the main subject and I'm completely enthusiastic and motivated about this subject. How ironic, right? Do you see what I mean? You can't know for sure if it really makes you feel better or not, until you really try it. I know it's a cliche, but it's true. Maybe now it doesn't make sense for you and if it doesn't, then don't do it. But saying that is a fad or wtv... Just don't take things for granted.

I'm sorry for putting you another clip from Eckhart (hey!, at least he isn't a bald buddhist person
)
When there is no readiness, forcing it is simple counter productive, that's true.
- Meditation, last year I had a prof who also liked to start 1 class with meditation, she used a bell too. She gave me a D in that class. I think at that point that was the last straw to my affinity to meditation liking people.
- Meditation, 4 years ago, I had to listen to meditation CD for 45 min in a seminar thing. My classmate luckily didn't like it either. We both sat with our eyes open at the back of the room, in the dark, being bored.
- Stress Busting session 4.5 years ago, I had to listen to someone present about ways to relief stress.
There can be two interpretations here: there's yours - the negative one - and the other - the positive one - "I don't understand how in school teachers don't talk about meditation and how to use our mind efficiently... Wait, your school has some meditations classes? That's amazing!". For example, I never had that lucky (not lucky for you for sure) to have meditation classes. Only recently, in my college, I had one class that our teacher talked about meditation. And the reaction from my colleagues was exactly like yours: making fun and ridicule it.
Meditation away into emptiness and to not-think-negative basically snowballs back into thinking negative, which is really dangerous, and a depressing activity to do.
I don't know what kind of meditation you do. But if it turns out being that, it is in fact dangerous. But remember: that is not meditation, that's "Aytundra's meditation".
But I think those are exceptionally rare, like less than 0.005 % of meditation-guides are actually successful in their delivery.
What kind of statistical conclusion is that? Ok, you want to feel more right about what you think, nothing against. But, one day, try to read the Power Of Now and tell me what you think. Hope it will be included on those 0.005%
By the way I want to delete everything meditation post.
Poor meditation concept
... You don't even say "I want to delete my previous post.", just those one regarding meditation. Ok, now I am just messing with you

Can we stop talking about meditation.
Sorry if I was a bit late answering... Finito
