>>96991367Those are all good reasons to accept what has happened.
The end result is not the problems. The reasoning is.
If Shen went "There is no way to get my bike back, so I shouldn't waste my time being mad about it." That'd be totally fine and the comic wouldn't even be worth making.
The problem with the comic is that Shen made a moral play about it, about greater happiness.
That's why he made the comic. It was a "unique" perspective and it was supposed to make you go "Haha, that's I guess that's true!", like everything else he makes.
The problem is, as I keep saying, that it conflates accepting the loss of the bike and the theft itself as a moral good thing.
