True , and one could argue plenty of western cartoons are as good as Anime in itself . But still , I could argue Anime openings still surpass the openings of these shows you mentioned . <| sep |> mean ol ' sjwpanic attack <| sep |> Fuck ayy lmao . edit wtf ? <| sep |> Here , this human takes care of me , I ' m sure they want these small balls of spikes and hatred . Cats , am I right ? <| sep |> Hahaha ! I ' ve left the house with my fuzzy slippers on too many times to count . <| sep |> You are definitely not alone . My mission was the worst two years of my life . Getting home I felt nothing but anger . Anger because I sacrificed so much to go on a mission and do what I thought was best and I felt robbed . Every day of my mission was torture . I can ' t even write some of the experiences I had here because most people would think I ' m making it up and to this day they still bother me too much . I had the crazy mission president too . Mine thought he was a prophet himself . The missionaries all talked about him as if he was a prophet and many missionaries would speak of visions they had of him being called to be the next prophet after a sudden tragic death of Gordon B Hinkley . Keep in mind that my mission president isn ' t even in the quorum of the seventy , why you would dream of him surpassing all general authorities and dream of the prophet at that time dying is insanity as far as I ' m concerned . In fact missionaries would often compete with who had more vivid visions depicting our mission presidents ' unexpected rise to power . I can ' t make this stuff up . It ' s crazy . This was the culture within my mission . Pure blasphemy . All missionaries in my mission were as robotic as anyone could imagine . I can ' t go into lots of details here , but the way they were molded by our mission president still disturbs me to this day . The things I witnessed still bother me . I hate to throw the word brainwashed out there , but these missionaries were . And not by church doctrine , that stuff was fine . It was the secondary subset of doctrine spreading around the mission that was not only blasphemous , but overtook my mission . There were aspects of Mormon doctrine that were so construed within my mission they were not true and yet they overtook the lessons we taught . Poor little me , refusing to teach this extended material was called disobedient , a traitor and told several times that I will go to hell that last one by the mission president himself . Like you experienced , I too had several experiences where missionaries attempted to rat me out to get me sent home for silly things . One time I took a nap during lunch . We weren ' t even late for an appointment or anything and took our normal allotment for lunch , I just decided to take a power nap during it . Something so trivial and yet I was treated like I had just murdered someone . One time I spent 33 minutes sending emails home and we had an extremely strict 29 mins 59 seconds email policy in our mission . My mission president wanted everyone reported that spent more than that on emails . I spent 33 minutes once and was chastised like crazy for it . Another time for PDay a bunch of missionaries in the area went to this place that is kind of like 4 corners but it was where Germany , The Netherlands , and Belgium all meet together in one spot . You can do one of those pictures where you are standing in 3 countries at once as a silly joke and so I opted to do it . I thought it would be a great picture to have and a fun memory . That one foot I took outside mission boundaries by putting a foot into another country to take a picture of being in three countries at once almost got me sent home . I had to beg and beg to not go home in retrospect I wish I had just let them send me home . I was punished and could never serve in a leadership role because of that act . I ' m sure the Lord really hates me for doing that so much that he couldn ' t stand the thought of me being in a leadership role sarcasm if you can ' t tell . These are the better stories of what I had on my mission . I have warned every other missionary that I ' ve known heading out on their mission about my experience . I think we have a certain rhetoric in our church meetings where we all give the same story . The mission is hard but worth it . The best two years of my life . We are told that it will be tough but in the end we will be eternally grateful for this once in a lifetimeeternity experience . So then the missionaries out there struggling keep on struggling because of this vision that when they get home it will all be wonderful and they will look back and think how grateful they were for enduring it . But that ' s not always the case . I regretted going when I got back . It ' s been 8 years since I got back and i regret it more now then I did when I first got back . I ' m open about everything . Im a no BS kind of guy . So when people ask me about my mission I always tell them that I hated it and it always shocks them . But what I love about it is that I ' d say about 25 % of the time I actually get responses back saying yeah me too actually ! People that had never felt like they could say it before will come to me and tell me all about it . They feel so bad admitting that they didn ' t like their mission that they just bottle it up inside and give the standard issue story that you ' re expected to give at your homecoming . There are so many pepper that feel the way you do about your mission . It ' s just that no one talks about it . Many of these people feel guilt for feeling this way and convince themselves it was worth it . Usually over time they forget the bad stuff and only the good stuff remains and then the standard rhetoric continues . You ' ll be surprised how many other people feel the way you did about your mission once they open up to you about it . I was In a new Ward about a year back and I was asked to speak about my mission in sacrament meeting and I actually told the bishop that ' s probably not a good idea , you should ask someone else because I hated my mission . My bishops ' response was utter shock . He literally didn ' t speak for a full minute . He didn ' t have any clue what to say . The funniest thing was he didn ' t even ask me about my mission after that . He just changed the subject and pretended like he had never heard what I had said . So yeah . Don ' t feel bad about it . Missions are not for everyone . It takes a special kind of person . The church really should ease up on the whole every man should go on a mission . It ' s not for everyone and they really should choose people that have a personality that would be better suited to it . The rest of us can go start businesses and careers . We can pay our dues with tithing and Ward service by performing our callings and so forth .
