Zen is not cynicism

Posters to r/Zen, please - terse Zen-like sayings are not all that helpful. We here are not Zen Masters, and we are not students - we are just humans on the path.

Posting seemingly 'elevated' comments might seem cute, but it often comes off as superficial. I'll admit that I've been guilty of this too.

Just posting things like 'make some tea instead' and 'There is nothing to understand. No-gate!' isn't really compassionate. Right Speech is not 'good' or 'bad' - it is wise, apt, and useful. IMO

Thanks for listening...
