Resilience

(1.) Strength in the face of overwhelming odds. A byproduct of the belief that there is something better out there. Something worth hoping for...in this life or the next.

(2.) The ability to consider the motivations of other people, and not just the content of what they say or do (good or bad).
(1). Many people who lack resilience are not "weak". They are just lost. I know what it is to be lost.

(2). When insulted or flattered, many people get lost in their self-consciousness or only consider the content of what is said. Considering why people speak and act the way they do is far more important and shields you from a lot of harm and unwise decisions. This creates a form of resilience.

Research of Resilience

It’s when a group of people gather together to “challenge/test/abuse” someone else. It’s an expression that tell said group that they have a target and all that Community can Bully said “target”. Usually they will excuse their actions by calling the individual under attack as “weak, snowflake, can’t take a joke, too emotional, etc”.

The Group of people that likes “playing research of resilience” usually will blame their Target to get away with their actions.

It’s a modern way of bully, similar to a real life Cold War.
“It’s a research of resilience. They are just snowflakes, can’t take a joke. If they can’t take a joke that’s their problem.”

Ravesilience

Ravesilience is the adaptability, toughness, elasticity and endurance of the spirit of rave that bounces back no matter the obstacle.

A portmaneau of rave (wild, free, frenzied, fiery expression of pleasure) & resilience (the ability to resist or adapt to challenges).
The sister tribes of the underground came together and united, feeding one another's ravesilience.

Those crusty, old hippies and their squated, run-down technopagan spaces are ravesilient AF.
