    I love Dan - he understands that “teaching” by being an EXAMPLE, in an inclusive way, is the only effective way. Being inclusive (wanting the same for all other life that we want for ourselves) removes the need for morals, ethics, & manners - we automatically have those things when we’re inclusive.

    So true about the boss! Once there were tensions in the dept caused by a negative gossipy nancy and a coworker waited till most of the people went away and went up to the boss to snitch. The boss was clearly uncomfortable but very diplomatically said the she would prefer that these things would be dealt within the team and she was to be kept out of issues that do not require her position to solve them. Not everybody is lucky to have a skilled comunicator as a boss so this is a gold tip:, just don't go up to the boss with petty issues/drama cause it'll probably back fire.
    Of course if there is bullying/harassment/racism going on it's another ball park

    It works Dan. I just was in a store coming out, and I saw a woman way across the parking lot who was going to be coming in and I stood there and held the door open for her for an excessive amount of time as she walked towards the building, and then she walked through, without saying thank you and I found myself frustrated. Then I thought I am the problem. I am the solution the problem, I’m too nice the solution, don’t be so nice.

I would tell them a secret, but one that doesn't matter if they tell other people. That way that will really tell you if you could trust the person first. That way if the person runs back and tells the boss or other people, it's not a big deal and will not harm you. Hope you don't mind me sharing my opinion on this.

      The.blue.raven7777-- Yes, there are many instances where you have to speak up, protect your boundaries and recognize that you are under attack. Absolutely, as I have acknowledged over and over again in my videos. Check them out for the recipe you seek. However, here is what you will NOT find in any of them--throwing more darkness on an already dark situation or using lovelessness as a response to lovelessness. Regardless of how low other people can sink--you are not called to reduce yourself to the same level. You can be just as effective being mindful as you can being ugly. Look at American politics and tell me if you think being the meanest, most gross, most despicable bully in the room is a winning formula when you are under attack (presumably by a bully). Or do you admire people who mindfully win others over to their side?

      If these people are going to your boss--I would request a meeting with your boss with these people present. I would do this only if your boss tells you people are compaining and tells you what they said and if you know they are lying. I would then question each and every one of them in front of your boss and attempt to lay the matter to rest. I would then say, in front of your boss "The next time you have a problem with me, come to me and if you go around me to our boss--tell me you are doing it so I can be present to defend myself against your lies."

    What is an illusion is to believe that human nature is being loving or that they dont get it or they are hurting when they behave like jerks. Some people are harming others for the sake of it or for their selfish purposes.
    When someones abuses you, it is not your job to respond with love or to educate but to protect yourself after communication failed.

      Yes, I'm happy that you used the word "some" when you said that "some people are harming others for the sake of it." Yes, some are. However, you then add that it's not our job to respond with love; it's our job to protect ourselves. I would posit that it is our job to do both; they are not mutually exclusive by any means.

I am saying YOU CAN'T ACT THAT WAY TOWARDS ME BECAUSE I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT. We can't change people and I would never recommend trying. But we can change their BEHAVIOR towards us. There is no way this can be used for evil, unless you tell someone "I will only tolerate behavior that hurts me." So far I don't know of anyone who has ever done that.

    Yeah, we all looked to the left because your puppy walked by.
    Also, if counting backwards from 10 is so simple why not just do that? Why complicate things?

    Some people do not care how they hurt others to get their needs met. You can not love a guy who has no consciousness to take responsibility for their greedy action Trmp

      I hear what you are saying, Hope. It is really difficult to treat a greedy conman with love and respect, because he doesn't treat you that way. HOWEVER, remember that how you treat these people is about YOU. How they behave is about THEM.

    Seems you have not come across a sadist. They get it.Sadists do say 'whats wrong with you' to their baby.

      I am talking about how you and I should behave--not how sadists will invariably behave. When you encounter abuse on that level, the ONLY thing I recommend is leaving the situation, or if you are a child, reporting that information to someone you believe will help you.

    After you've worked out your mathematical calculations you'll find the original problems to a high stress situation still remain and your calculations have not provided you with anything to mitigate the tension, or resolve the situation. If you let someone push your buttons and invoke a knee jerk response then you have let them have control over you. Is that what you want, to have others control you? There's a time to fight and there's a time not to. You need to know the difference. You also need to determine if engagement in a conflict and winning is going to be profitable or wasted energy without the possibility of any gain. If you have a masters degree and you're involved in a petty dispute with a Walmart employee then you are stupid, because you gain nothing to argue with an idiot with no education making 8 dollars an hour. Their life is hard enough, so walk away. You need to be able to control your own thoughts. If you're in a high pressure situation and you lose It, then you're part of the problem. There is no easy solution to controlling your thoughts and focus. It takes self control and practice. That means being exposed to high pressure situations, not avoiding them or running away. How do you become good at math? You work out a lot of problems. How do you learn to handle high stress? The same way you learn to be good at math, encountering more problems. Ask yourself honestly. Are you going to be the lead dog, or do you just want to be the lead dog? If you are going to be in control, be around people who are in control. Follow the examples you observe. Learn what they are doing. I could be more detailed but this isn't my presentation and Im just scratching the surface. Get a copy of The Art of War. Don't read it. Learn it.

      Rick, let me respond to just one point you made--the "petty dispute" between someone with a master's degree and a Walmart employee. I take issue with your dismissing the WM employee as "stupid" and implying that the person with the master's degree is smart. Education doesn't some solely from a classroom. As someone humpbacked with degrees, I can assure you of that. The best education comes from an awareness of what is going on around you. Certainly you do a cost/benefit before engaging in a dispute of any sort. But that cost/benefit doesn't include dismissing the other person as stupid because he works at Walmart. If Sun Tzu were alive today, he would not be making that rookie mistake :)

      @@TheWizardOfWords Thats not what I said. I said someone working at Walmart for 8 dollars an hour was an idiot. I also said someone with a masters degree engaging in a conflict with such a person was stupid. If the person working in produce, running the register, or sweeping the floors was all that bright they wouldn't be there. I think you'd find someone working there a poor choice for an engineer. To be fair I've met plenty of engineers that have no business using that title. Try telling someone making 8 dollars an hour the best education is situational awareness.

      Many of them already know it; I don't have to tell them, Rick. My point is that you were making huge judgments based on someone's station in life, without knowing that person at all.
