Have I moved past their betrayal? I think so. Have I forgiven them? Yes. Do I want those people in my life again? no. never.
That's exactly what I was tyring to get at. Forgiving is something you do for yourself. That doesn't mean you have to forget about what happend nor not let it have consequences. But holding to the grudge will do nothing but harm yourself.
The article feels like an AI summary to me.
What doe the capital letters (eg ACC) in the translations refer too?
I settled over here when the API Desaster happend. I lost some communities, but I found new ones. Rarley, I have to engage with reddit for troubleshooting, but I treat it like any forum that I am not registered in, get my info and leave again.

The mother of the boy was sitting in true audience and she wasn't offended by it at all. She defended the Dalai Lama. That in of itself doesn't mean anything, I have to admit. If you're in a cult you tend to close your eyes to abuse. But take a closer look at the whole situation:
Of course, it could be possible that the person whon spent his live reaching out to the West, preaching about love and kindness, decided to make a very puplic statement about his pedophile nature while beeing on a stage surrounded by cameras. Or it was an interaction between two people of a different culture whom had an exchange that, admittedly, sounds strange to Western ears.
I know what I think is more likley here. Especially because there was nothing else after this. Usually, once a public person is called out for abusive behaviour, there will be some victims who are encouraged to break their silence. In this case? Nothing. Doesn't that make you question your assumption of him beeing a pedo at least a bit?
Spoiler much?
That's a very low bar.
I'll show myfself out.
When AI would have been the better choice.
They just spoke their mind and you call him a pox on the Universe. That's typical light blue dicer rethoric right there. You should be ashamed of yoursef! What are you, against free speech?
You can fuck right off with that attitude, mate.
