[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 720117, member: 5938"] I have something called "The four agreements" written by Don Miguel Ruiz, posted right here at my computer desk. I read it daily and work hard to keep it in mind. The first one is: "DON'T TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering." There are lots of inconsiderate, troubled and just plain nasty people in the world. When someone butts up against their opinions they have no recourse but to attack in inappropriate (sp?) ways. It's the best they can do at the time but we just don't need to take their words to heart. We have choices. We can, at times, give them the benefit of doubt, swallow our own pride and say "you may be right". We can also say "you are wrong" and leave it at that. We do not need to explain our word and/or actions to others as long as we've done our best. We should be mature enough to admit when we have been very wrong and to apologize when we have crossed the line of sanity and decency. We have the freedom to disregard the angry and unfair words of others. We have the freedom to put posters on ignore lists. And we have the freedom to stoop down to a level we know is beneath us. What we do with those freedoms is totally up to us. It is, after all, our own reality. [/QUOTE]
