Pleasure From Things Going Poorly- A Luke Story

[joe.blair]

I love everyone involved with LMG, so that's a pretty good preface to this decidedly pointed comment.

 

I see a lot of myself in Luke, which may be why I feel the need to make this observation. He seems to enjoy being right at the expense of others being wrong. This is a larger problem with our planet, but I've decided to put him on trial here. If one person is able to glean a more positive world view because of our eviscerating Luke for his misguided enthusiasm, it will be worthwhile. Also, remember, much love.

 

Maybe a nice challenge for Mr Luke would be to try and shy away from scathing sarcastic glares and pandering. Not to do away with these entirely, but try and take a page from Linus' book where he's more going for a mass appeal. You're alienating yourself when you arrogantly dismiss i-Phones.

 

I'll admit this is a bit of a vent session, and nobody can argue like family, but am I the only one who feels this way? I want to host a "douche-intervention", not that he's a douche ;-) We could even make it fun, like giving him a good public shaming which could double as promotion for LMG! I want the best for our friend Luke.

 

Luke, taking this course will only make you funnier, more sharp and like I mentioned before give you more likability in general. I thought our Canadian neighbors were meant to be our more polite counterparts. Much love, keep on keepin' on, but don't become jaded and callous too early in your life, save some for the next decade B-)

I'm not entirely sure what I just read and what you are trying to get across here

I have never noticed Luke being a douche or even douchlike.

Go outside and seek help.

For real.

Aww, ok. I figured it may be too radioactive to bring up. I've been trying to reconcile it in my own mind, and tried to make it a little funny. I know he's not a douche, which I explicitly made clear.

 

I just see a nasty trend with these people I respect, where an elitism is espoused. I don't think this is an issue with just Luke as an individual, but he's a person in my life who can serve as a platform for this conversation. My approach would be increased humbleness, and empathy.
