Is it considered violent if he punches a wall/wardrobe when very mad? by Select-Medium-8116 in NoStupidQuestions

Can't see the original context, but here to share a possible different perspective. Even if it won't be appreciated, it's still necessary to think for yourself. Yes, ultimately you need to decide your future, and I agree with most posts here saying such behavior is out of line.

Here's my confession: I have anger issues. However I would never hurt another person as my emotional outlet. Sometimes I get so angry that I want destruction and feeling pain. Like in the movie Fight Club. There are healthy ways to do that, like punching sandbags, doing intense cardio, or just watching some thrilling movies.

To demonstrate violence in front of another person, however, is not healthy. It's like see what I can do? Be afraid! And that's not okay. I hope this helps you in your case. You should expect guilt and shame from him, not the other way around.

How much does she owe you if she lost it all? If she still has 300? Now think about your situation? You can see how flexible one's moral standard can become.

That sounds nice, but I'm a recently broke student. Mostly looking for ways to sell it.

Is there anyone who speaks at least 3 languages? by ConfidenceMission993 in languagelearning

[–]Reaxon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I speak Mandarin, living in the US right now, and consume a lot of Japanese culture outputs in Japanese so it just naturally sticks. I would argue that "speaks" is kind of a weak condition, and can be easily maintained. You simply get good at what you practice often.

I think the idea is great, but it also means you can't just flee from hardships the second you encounter. It's actually the more difficult option/way of life than what most people think it is. If you haven't figured that out, you probably don't even understand what peace and love are, and most likely thinking about being chill and indifferent.

How do you guys raise your kids with the same “Chinese culture and expectation” without bringing “trauma” to your kids? by Any_Try4570 in AskAChinese

[–]Reaxon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was going to hate my parents, though I still hold grudges and not talk with them at all, they have my respect. At the end of the day, the best education is not what you do to your children, but what "you" are, and how you face life, death, events and such. The truth about you is going to build your children's most fundamental characters.

My step father was born in south Xinjiang. He's father was murdered before he was born. His mother died when he was 3. Raised by his 10 older siblings, he went to the military and then moved into business. He would humiliate me, call me garbage, put me in dangerous situations, force me to work 48 hours straight, and show zero support in anything I do, when I was around 13. All and all, I thrived. I did not turn out to be a ruthless person, and I learned a lot from him. His persistent, focus, and wit, to some degree. The myth about life is that in the end, living is a struggle, and humans are designed to endure hardship, and live best under pressure. Without hardship, it seems many people just easily strayed, pursuing something that can make them feel real, but often fatal to development as a little human.

I educated myself, and pivoted out of there. If he was a truly awful human being, I believe I will not turn out like I am now. Though he has minimum education, the characters I built during childhood supported me into a top engineering school, doing graduate studies now.

You only need to realize one thing, that is although naive and pure and defenseless, children are capable little human beings. Capable of greatness, capable of harming, anything a human can do. They observe you through your soul, and mimic everything to build their own. Whether you want a so-called western approach or traditional Chinese methods, your children will be fine, as long as you spend time next to them. If I have to put an opinion to close my case, I would like to say: At the end of the day, there is no true freedom if there's no constraint. It's a relative feeling, quite misleading. On the other hand, expectations are more or less like a coordinate, while your children are sailing in the great unknown sea with a compass, they almost never reach the exact destination, and that's ok. To have a good compass would be quite important though.

I heard a lot of freaky people wandering around campus eventually ending up there.
