I've had that belief in mind since about 5th grade. I'm surprised people find this amazing.

You obviously had a terrible 5th grade. Because I can't think of any reason to have that notion in mind other than your classmates constantly trying to shank you.

I was in that situation, and what philosophy did I get out of it?

Treat others better than you would treat yourself.

Crazy world eh?

I'm dancing on chivalry's grave.

edit: to be clear, this is not something that makes me sad.

Hmm if killing chivalry doesn't make Footkerchief sad then it must be dancing!

Chivalry? Exactly WHAT are you guys talking about? That was a moral code for KNIGHTS for crying out loud! To place that into perspective, these were privileged noblemen that trained their entire lives in the way of sword, shield, and horsemenship. The entire defense of countries laid on their shoulders. They routinely used equipment so expensive that the local serfs could only DREAM about only them. They were musclebound defenders of their lord and they carried the authority of both King and God. Chivalry existed to keep them in line, not as 'enhanced etiquette' or whatever you might think it is.

So, in other words, forget about chivalry. Anyone thinking that they're upholding the same ideals of chivalry is a wannabe. Go for the Bushido Code instead, nobody can say that's dead when you're committing seppuku.

Chivalry also refers to the general practice of doing things like holding doors open for ladies, and a lot of other more obscure stuff that a lot of people don't do (I believe it's polite to stand up when an older woman enters the room, that might not be right, though.  I've never seen someone do it)

I'm glad this isn't common knowledge, otherwise it would have already devolved into a sort of insult.

Just imagine, a woman walks into the room, you stand up, "ARE YOU SAYING I'M OLD?" ensues.

Over here, whenever there is a social event, everyone stands up when someone enters the room. It simply would not do if you force a man to bend over to rub noses.

So to put it, by 7th grade, everyone was so much of a dick, I decided to be home schooled until 11th grade. It's amazing it took until adulthood for me to actually commit to my recent personalty.

Basically, I reset all standings I have with everyone, and let them re-earn their position with me. One of the best moves I've done. Tons of weight off my head. There is a occasional curiosity of what's going on with them nowadays.

Ever have old friends that remember you by one stupid thing you've done in the past, regardless all the awesome stuff they've witnessed you do? That describes everyone I knew in school. Anytime I run into them once in awhile, they always describe me, to people they know, by that stupid incident, more than the fact that I was smarter with computers than everyone else back then or something like that. I mean, I knew how to operate DOS and Windows in 1st grade for crying out loud! :facepalm:


Made me sad: Was up until 4AM and woke up at noon, there's nothing to eat around the house and I'm fatigued and starving, and what was supposed to be a regular Christmas decoration removal/moving boxes, turned into a couple hours of cleaning up the garage instead; and nearly getting a hernia moving some furniture to the garbage pile.

Add insult to injury; I was actually rather pleasant when I started despite waking up at noon. I saw this fucking coming since returning home after seeing Avatar. I hate when my instincts bull's-eye.

Now I'm too hungry, angry, a tad lonely, and tired to work on the Bloodfist today, including trying to post last night's work on it. As the lame-ass acronym puts it, I should HALT before going any further with my day. Fuck it; overworking myself beyond my limits for hours on end is the only way I can get anything I want gorram done.

I really should not plan for anything E-V-E-R. Yet another planning to work on Bloodfist all week, and-- fuck it, I might as well remain bent over for life. Any which way, I always get screwed over by everyone else's wants. THIS is why I hate being nice. It's a gorram obligation, I've been too deep in being so. And again, I have yet to receive my reward in life for the effort.

I've been feeling expendable all week. I have to deny having any plans because the plans I usually have is enough to make everyone make plans to prevent my plans. Reason: it involves using my computer, and because it involves the computer, it's 100% guaranteed I'm wasting my life playing games, and doing nothing about it. I'm freaking stereotyped as the gamer that plays games 24/7, and not making any progress, or making any effort, by my own family. Basically, my time is worthless to everyone; even if I'm actually working towards making progress with my life (which I DID have plans for as well, but who gives a fuck about what I need/want to do.).

Because it looks like I'm doing nothing, doesn't mean I'm doing nothing. A concept always ignored.

Erm...
My mom said there was a tornado warning for my area. (Long Beach) ._.
Raining, thundering, tornado warning, possibly hail. Oh geez.

You mean your classmates DIDN'T try to shank you?
In my school you kept a close eye on your back.

[Realmfighter]

My mom just found some porn i had hidden in my room and then forgotten about.

That was fun.

[ToonyMan]

I thought you get shanked in the front.

Anyway, you just gotta be cool with classmates.

Once in the front, twice in the back.

Nope. The guys were too busy trying to shank each other. (and not in 5th grade, lordy.)

Chivaltry isn't dead here in the Philippines, at the very least.
