have you ever spoken to someone who through out the entire conversation says words an says things to make you feel as less of a person or to making themselves seem better than you or they just trying to making you feel small.
This is a prime example of what I like to call "Forceful Negativity" and it can sneak up on you an really ruin the moment or even your day if you let it.
These people are simply full of anger and darkness and wish only to make those around them feel the same way they do.
Today i speek with someone like this an i began to feel anger an hostility to this person an it was in this moment I remember one of they great lessons of my life.
“When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
while in meditation i search deep inside to find peace with this words and this attitude that is used against me today and i was able to see the hurt in the words and the need in the actions of this person.
Let us not blacken hour hearts in anger against people who offend us but instead open our hearts to them and be a beacon in the darkness they swim in.
Let us not run away and say " i will never speaking to this person again" but instead say "If i should be anywhere it is where i can be of they most help"
Let us push away this Negativity and fill ourselves with compassion , hope and peace that we may shine it on everyone we meet.
As a ship in they storm searches for a tiny light in the darkness let us be this light.
this is the way and they path that leads only to calm and peace :D
I am happy to have spoken with this person today for now i can see they need friends and more then anything they need compassion.
what a great day it is when they sun forces its way through the dark clouds and shines down to warm the earth.
