Have you tried not taking everything you read on the internet so seriously? I've been doing it for like... well actually, since I started using the internet. And I must say, it's done nothing but wonders for me!

Definitely give it a try. While you're at it, perhaps learn not to be offended by minor things that can easily be ignored? It might even apply to real-life situations as well!

These things you proclaim to be easy are, unfortunately, subjectively different for each human being. While it may be easy for you to ignore communication from other human beings on the internet, it's not easy for all people. For some it is decidedly hard.

Also, again, "being offended" by something is a result of brain impulses that vary wildly from person to person. When you drop an idea on thousands of folks at once, someone might find it offensive. So be it. You and the person who takes offense are equals; your brain and thoughts aren't any "better" than theirs.

Further, "Just do this and that and such and such as you'll be as happy as me," doesn't really work in the real world, at all. That should be obvious to anyone observing what is going on here on Earth.

If you can take 100 people and find 25 that don't really like chocolate cake, how the hell does one drop something as complicated as behavioral change advice on a public forum on the internet and expect it to automatically apply to the random person they don't even know.

You do realize that other humans vary from being somewhat different than yourself, to being drastically different from yourself, right? I mean, you clearly think you have the whole thing figured out, and maybe you do, but that's a solution for you personally, in your own head. Other human brains may or may not find your sage advice to be applicable.

And yeah, do pay close attention, because you are correct - these things do apply in real life as well. If you think everyone is the same (as you) inside of their heads, you're sorely mistaken. Drastically, sorely mistaken. When you look at the homeless guy and say, "just get up and get a job," that doesn't really do anything positive at all.

Likewise, when you tell random humans "not to be offended" by such-and-such, it's nonsense. What makes your ideas and morals the end-all-be-all of what is and isn't offensive?
