type shitAgreed, said disenfranchised young males should leave those toxic forums and come here so we can teach them how to kill themselves instead.
I want to leave you with a lovely story from the Jewish tradition. A powerful metaphor for these situations.
An emperor was in distress because his son, heir to the throne, had gone completely crazy. The son thought he was a turkey (!). He made turkey sounds all day long, refused to wear clothes and pecked at his food on the floor. Nobody was able to help.
Then one day, a respected Rabbi responded to the emperor's plea for help. He confidently claimed that he could help the young man. The emperor was skeptical but told him to go ahead.
The Rabbi entered the room with the boy and took off his clothes. He began making turkey sounds and pecking at the ground. The son asked him who he was, to which the Rabbi explained that he is just another turkey. For days, the two of them strutted around the room, pecking at the ground and making turkey noises.
Then one day, the Rabbi put on some pants. The son asked what he was doing and the Rabbi said it is a good idea and he should do the same. He did so. Now, they were both at least wearing pants. In later days, the Rabbi put his top back on, and the boy did the same. Next, he started eating at the table like a human. And so on.
In time, the son was completely recovered from his turkey disease and the emperor was overjoyed.
@Pluto, i hadn't seeing any of your posts beyond the pictures of cats you send (love them), but your writing is actually really eloquent and beautiful. i really liked the jewish story you shared and your nuanced take on neets!
