The Seven Stages of r/Zen: A beginner's guide for what to expect in the forum.

SHOCK & DENIAL: What the hell?! Who is this "ewk" guy, and why is he so goddamn mean?! Zen is supposed to be peaceful, WTF!!

PAIN & GUILT: Oh man, I'm getting stomped on in here by like five people every day. This totally sucks; I should just unsubscribe.

ANGER & BARGAINING: Alright, god damn it... I'm going to show them! I'm going to post Dogen every day!

DEPRESSION, REFLECTION, LONELINESS: All hope is lost. Nietzsche was right; everything is absolutely meaningless.

THE UPWARD TURN: Wait a minute; Zen can't simply be nihilism; let me read these "Zen Masters" and see what all of the fuss is about...

RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH: I'm going to use Huangbo and Foyan to beat the shit out of those r/Zen fundamentalists!

ACCEPTANCE & HOPE: Ewk is my Lord and Savior; may His Holiness shine upon us all ever more, amen.
