First of all, I forgive you for not reading and trying to understand my point and abuse me by calling names. (There you go, you have an example when to forgive)

I never mentioned forgiveness is the ultimate choice. Neither did I mention being assertive is. My point, to repeat, is this - the decision to take your action DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION. We should not blindly advocate "always forgive" or "always be assertive". It ALWAYS and ALWAYS depends on the situation.

What we should do is to have the mindset to take a step back and analyse the situation and choose the correct action.

The example I gave is purely fictional and I don't know how you are blindly taking a stance against such abusive elderly ? Maybe you have worked with elderly and maybe in those situations they deserve it, but how do you know the situation of everyone in the world ? How can you take that stance without having enough information about them.

Again, please take a step back and try to understand my point.

Everything depends on the situation. There is no one right answer.

To give an example, lets say a person who has about a week left due to some incurable disease does something offensive to you. Will you go about asking for accountability or forgive them?

It depends on how offensive the action was VS what the state of the person who did the action is. Regardless, you'll need strength, either to hold accountable or to forgive the person.

Either could be the right choice, but I'm saying life is not black and white, it's mostly gray situations and people trying to call it black or white.

Death is mysterious. But do you really want to seek it ? It will eventually come anyways, so why seek it before it comes.

Even though it was not our choice to be alive, we do have the choice to live it in 100 different ways. I cannot judge the hardship you are facing, but rather than seeing death, why not try changing the variables of your life or help change it for someone less fortunate than you ?

To think about death.

No I'm not depressed. Death is a topic that is sad or scary from the point of view of the living. But once we die, that point of view is not valid for us any more. So then death becomes a point beyond which being sad or happy doesn't matter any more because sad and happy are part of the living world.

Of course I'm scared to die. Fear is a part of life and survival instincts are what has kept us what we are. I don't want to seek death and want to enjoy the time of being alive to the fullest.

But we can seek solace in the mystery of death as much as the mystery of birth, I believe.

I'm even ok with the 0-day work week, as long as I get the salary in time.

I was expecting someone to say wingdings when I posted the question, but this is one better 😁

Mine is mononoki

It is a very minimal clean looking monospace font with support for ligatures. What is yours ?

True. I usually tell people it is a good field, provided that they have interest. Then the question usually is how to be interested in it, and I just tell them to just be curious about how any app/software that they use works.

Thanks for sharing

To give some context, I'm a developer myself and once I had a conversation with someone who has not "tasted" programming, but was wondering about passion and career. I was asked what I like about programming. My answer was that my interest in it came from writing small scripts when I was young to automate things.

Aside from being a career, I'm curious what got you into coding ?

THIS oh gawwwd, couldn't agree more. Tired of reading news about this guy talking unintelligent crap. Dear people, for him even negative publicity is still publicity and for us it is a waste of our attention, 1 cent of which he doesn't deserve.
