Caveat: El derecho a equivocarse impunemente

"Individual o colectiva, la juventud necesita creerse, a priori, superior. Claro que se equivoca, pero éste es precisamente el gran derecho de la juventud: tiene derecho a equivocarse impunemente." – José Ortega y Gasset, filósofo español.

En trabajar como maestro de jovenes, creo que debo siempre recordarme de este pensamiento.

Caveat: 엎드려 절 받기

엎드려      절  받기
face-down bow receive-GER
[…like] receiving a bow [while?] face-down.

This means receiving a courtesy such as a bow and disregarding or ignoring it, according to the proverb guide I found. I suspect I make a lot of mistakes with this type of thing in Korea – the rules are so different from how courtesy normally works in Western culture, although I sometimes think they’re not as different as we think they are – they just seem really different.

I’m feeling really down. I’m engaging in major escapism, playing a game on my computer and ignoring reality.
