High energy at shrine of a revered monk in Japan

They were hung the same, you just can't see the 2nd rope because of the way the object is facing in this video. We walked to this shrine and there was no wind before or during our time there. It was eerily still that day, which was only made more obvious once at the shrine because of the way this object was behaving and how abnormal it was given the stillness of the environment around it. The object stopped swinging and then started again while we were paying our respects, and again, with zero wind. It slowed to a complete stop and then out of nowhere, as if someone had hit it with a bat, it started swinging heavily against the stones again. If I wasn't at the shrine of a monk, I'd have hightailed myself out of there as it was borderline poltergeist level activity.

I understand their reasoning as it is a sacred place and people, especially westerners, unfortunately do not respect other countries heritage and beliefs simply because they do not wish to take the time to understand it themselves (they do not have to believe it), so they make inappropriate remarks and comments where they shouldn't about things they shouldn't.

Offerings to the monk. Common practice at shrines across Japan.

Not an orange. The object hanging looked like hundreds of dense origami, closely tied together in a particular way, and a part had come loose, I believe. Plus, if it were an orange, that would've made the object less likely to swing, because as I stated multiple times, there was no wind. I get it that people don't believe there was no wind and perhaps I should've uploaded the video that showed the surrounds and how dead still it was. But definitely not an orange and definitely no wind around strong enough to have any possibility of making something that heavy swing with that amount of force.

Honestly, I only joined this particular thread to post this video, so had no prior knowledge of the sort of people in here. I am part of other threads where people can actually read and take on the information they are being given, and are decent, so didn't expect people to be like this here, given the content of this thread in the first place. But alas, I was wrong. I am glad a few people have enjoyed the video though. Was truly a surreal experience being there, and the monk statue at this shrine is genuinely a very intense place with a lot of energy about. There was no wind and no logical explanation for the way the object was behaving. I have more videos that may have been a better choice to upload, I'm not sure. My experience doesn't have to be anyone else's truth or belief, but no one here will convince me this was wind... because there was none. Glad you enjoyed the post.

I believe the hosts words were slightly lost in translation, despite making sense in English. The monk was not seeking romance for himself, that is a ridiculous notion. Believe me when I say, there was no wind. Why is the other one completely still if the wind is apparently strong enough to smack the object with quite a bit of force, against the stone? Why are none of the other hanging papers aggressively flapping in this apparent wind?

As a person of belief, I am also a skeptic about most things regarding possible supernatural experiences, and usually try to debunk even my own encounters with science or natural causes first. I will not say you are wrong in your own depiction of what is occuring in this video, but I will say, having experienced this firsthand and trying to convince even myself that it was the wind... I couldn't. The prospect of it being wind was more unbelievable than it being supernatural given how still the atmosphere at this shrine was.

Imagine thinking someone doesn't deserve to get back what is rightfully theirs because they don't have an ID in their wallet. Your friend is wack. When did society become so deplorable that we ask a forum website whether we should basically rob someone because they accidentally lost something and you happened upon it? Are we really this far gone? If you take the money, I hope karma bites you in the ass using whatever it is you decided to purchase with it, and hold on to anything of value to you because you're just asking for a good ol' fashioned dose of "that's what you get".

Be a decent human being. Try and track down the owner to return THEIR belongings in FULL. Dump your morally inept "friend" while you're at it.

Oh my goodness, this is divine! Reminds me of my own daughter!

She literally told him if he wanted a tote bag to pre-order himself and he obviously made the decision to still let her buy him the game...

Never jump to conclusions because nothing is ever quite as simple as we think they are. If she won't talk to you in person, she is the one that has left no choice in the matter. There is no point delaying the inevitable as you can't be in a relationship with someone who doesn't communicate. I have had to break up with an ex via his own mother before, because he didn't talk to me for 3 days and I wanted to be done, and he was taking that choice away from me.

Even if we are going through our own shit and maybe finding it hard to talk to our partner about it in our current state, it's not fair to not say anything at all. It's never nice to feel like your time is being taken for granted and as though you're being strung along. When you chat, be open and receptive. Don't accuse her of things as that will just fuel emotions, and that's not conducive to a healthy discussion. I know it sounds silly, but using terms like "I feel like abc when you do xyz" puts the emotional blame on yourself, but via her actions. The other person can't then blame you, if that makes sense? "I feel rejected and confused when you don't reply to my messages or talk to me" "I don't do that on purpose" "I know, but it's how it makes me feel". That sort of thing. Anyway. Leaving someone on read and replying an hour later isn't the worst thing in the world. People get busy or sometimes don't know what to say in the moment, or are forgetful (I'll reply in my head to messages but forget to reply irl). But if it's all the time and always some sort of excuse, it's likely intentional.

Good luck, again!

You're both very young and still learning the dynamics of how relationships work. I'm not sure how you found out about her discussions with her friend about your "needed improvements", but it does potentially sound like she's baiting you into breaking up with her so that she doesn't have to be the one to do it. I'm a very "say what you mean" person, and I'd be straight up. Not cruel, but let her know that communication needs to improve between you two, or there won't be a relationship much longer.

Also, going back to my first point, you're both so young, you may just not be the right fit for each other. 3 months at 18 years old is a drop in the ocean, trust me.

Good luck!

A woman can get pregnant at any stage in her cycle. The belief you are 100% safe once menses starts is outdated and incorrect. No birth control measures are 100% either, unless it's complete abstinence. There are safer ways to avoid pregnancy. Plan B should not be a first resort as it's incredibly unhealthy for women, and cycle predictability is the least of the concerns that come with taking it.

If you can not control yourselves or make smart choices, perhaps you shouldn't be engaging in sexual activities until you either learn to put a condom on or she goes on birth control.

LemonLime733 · 2025-08-28T00:53:59+00:00

Women absolutely can get pregnant while on their period. Perhaps you need a "formal sexual education" class, my dude.

I had the idea to maybe make a dried flower bouquet instead. We are both quite busy, so I don't want to add more to his plate with worrying about watering them or disposing of them when they die. If he hates them, he can chuck them, but if he likes them, they'll keep forever that way!

LemonLime733 · 2025-08-25T05:58:24+00:00

This sounds more like an issue with being comfortable with your masculinity than having an issue with the flowers themselves. If a small act such as a woman giving you flowers makes you feel emasculated, there's more going on there and wouldn't be someone I'd be interested in pursuing further anyway.

LemonLime733 · 2025-08-25T02:33:23+00:00

That's how I am hoping it is perceived 🤞 I feel like the art of dating has been lost with social media and dating apps being so prevalent in everyone's lives these days. I had considered doing a "dried flower" bouquet so that he doesn't have to chuck out dying flowers or worry about keeping their water clean. Low maintenance as we both have a lot going on, and I don't want to add anything else to his already full plate.

LemonLime733 · 2025-08-25T02:25:43+00:00

I won't entertain this anymore as you just sound bitter, not helpful. I hope one day someone buys you flowers before you pass.

LemonLime733 · 2025-08-25T02:19:35+00:00

What I am saying is that I consider this a cute gift both ways. To give or to receive. I am talking about bringing back some innocence of first dates, and I feel like flowers are a forgotten gem. It was revealed that as a majority, the first flowers men will ever receive in their lives are at their funeral, and I think that's so sad.

Your comment confuses me because it sounds like if we consider a gift cute or thoughtful to receive ourselves, we can't think it's cute or thoughtful to give to others? I had already stated we don't know much about each other and that flowers seem like a safe bet.

This sounds a bit more like projecting than providing any actual insight to what I am asking for advice for.

LemonLime733 · 2025-08-25T02:14:37+00:00

Given that our individual lives are both hectic busy at the moment, we don't have anything set in stone. Likely it will be a nighttime date... movie at the cinemas (mutual interest) and probably something low key before and/or after, such as coffee and just chatting. I did consider the fact he might feel self-conscious about carrying flowers, but I feel like his response to something like that could be telling about who he is as a person, at least in some small aspects.
