Getting some real Poe's law vibes off this post.
> Meditation is terrible -> meditation is amazing
> By “meditating” I mostly mean sitting around with my eyes closed. I haven’t done any research at all on what meditation is supposed to be.
Definitely ok with this person calling their practice meditation - who cares? But I'm more likely to listen to reflections when someone can commit to a particular meaning of a word. Is the meditation that you thought was terrible the same as the one you think is amazing?
- procinct 4y agoNot to mention asserting that something is terrible when you haven’t done any research into what that thing actually is…

- monktastic1 4y agoYeah, I found this hilarious too. He says he went from thinking meditation was terrible to thinking it's great, but he really went from thinking it's terrible to not knowing what it is.
