The reason why we are here is pretty obvious like you said and we do everything to get other peoples approval. But is it really worth it? Sacrificing pride for attention?
This is just ridiculous, I will not put down my pants in order to please everyone. I post what I want, if it is something informative or comedic. If in the process I make someone smile, so be it, then that person will be happy about me and my "soul" I have put in the post.
Anyway, thanks for posting this, you couldn't have said it better. (and that was not false kindness of me)
