Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Let life pass with or without traumatic experience? The YOLO lesson skip too easy the role of luck having in every single jump, and lucky is what it is, one winner and a lot of losers left behind. Unpopular is actually accept to be born under the losers lines, everyone wants to feel winners without shame.
I'm not suggesting to YOLO off a cliff without any plan. There should always be some forethought and understanding of risk, reward, and luck.
Also, traumatic experience, as awful as it can be, can help us learn and grow. You might not YOLO the same twice if you died the first time.
Thats the lie as my opinion, about the learn and grow. Trauma don't always make you grow but actually most of trauma take you back, eats your years, lock you inside mentals institutes for example. Even the basic reward can strike you down, its all about luck, lose or win.
I don't entirely disagree. I'd prefer to avoid trauma of any kind. It is often detrimental, but not always. Depending on the type or severity, it can spell doom, or be a point of failure that becomes a lesson.
