So if I really want to badmouth or punch a guy, I just avoid and keep quiet. If I acted with too much honesty and say what I really thought of him, then I would be so restive, anticipating the consequences and when it happens will still be in tenterhooks waiting for the opportunity to hit back<BR/><BR/>That is why we are advised: between the stimulant (meeting an unplesant person or encountering the offensive behavior) and our (sincere and honest) reaction, there is a CHOICE. I'd want to exercise that choice and not just impulsively respond.<BR/><BR/>I don't have to beso-beso the offensive person. A quiet nod ... that's already contrived niceness.Forever59erhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12132767206301934794noreply@blogger.com
