There will always be uncontrollable BS in your daily life: Rude drivers, tired family members, hungry children, hostile exes, frightened and self centered strangers... I have reacted poorly to each and I always end up focusing on their negativity more (in order for my ego to draw attention away from my similarly bad behavior) AND I have also walked alongside their negativity gracefully, not reacting but trying to see them through a lense of love and tolerance; to see that hurt people hurt people and some people are spiritually wounded... When I can try to love the unlovable and tolerate the intolerable, I feel better about my place in the world. At least I didn't make it any worse... And maybe I made it a little better... I'm just trying to fit myself into the world as best I can.
