Why he might be annoying:

    It has so many other names you really have to use your own judgment.
    Most Survivor-style contests don’t exactly encourage it.

    Buddhists define it as one of their Ten Perfections (Paramitas) — metta, or ‘loving kindness.’
    Remember being taken to the hospital because you couldn’t move?
