Patience.
Forums:
I often fantasise about hitting BM, she is a deeply unpleasent woman, latest thing is she isn't bothered about SD6 knowing that she has lots of sex with latest man friend and latest bf dosn't bother about covering his modesty, this of course sickens me as you can imagine, but my question is does anyone else come close to losing control with bm or bd, I never would, because I understand the repucussion of such an action, I would be walking right into her hands, but I do enjoy thinking about it. If it was anyone else they would have been knocked out for the way they have treated me and others, Im not a violent person, but I think we all reach the end of the line of patience, we can all only be pushed so far.
Yes I've thought about
Yes I've thought about slapping BM. I've thought even more about degrading her with my vocabulary, in ways she would never understand because of her lack of vocabulary.
But, i've though the same of SD too. I don't think very long about it because it only puts me in an angry state. I'm prepared though if I need to defend myself.
Heard this just today from
Heard this just today from the Daili Lama - The practice of patience guards us against losing our presence of mind. It enables us to remain undisturbed, even when the situation is really difficult. It gives us a certain amount of inner peace, which allows us some self-control, so that we can choose to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner, rather than being driven by our disturbing emotions.
That being said, when all else fails, have a drink and know that this will pass. It isn't always easy to take the high ground but when you do, you can absolutely enjoy when she doesn't and makes a butt of herself. What is especially gratifying is when the kids begin to see it. Awesome.
