How do YOU cope with attacks?
I was having a somewhat philosophical chat with a friend yesterday about how we cope with attacks upon us, and how difficult it can be to "turn the other cheek".
When someone attacks you, either on a forum, or to your face, the human reaction is either to get very defensive, or to attack back and in my case it has always been the latter.
However in recent weeks/months, I have found myself wanting to turn the other cheek and not give them any further negative energy, but at times this is seemingly impossible when they keep prodding and won't let off.
Some people don't seem to know when to stop, and keep poking the wild bear lol!
So how do we decide what is right and wrong in a reaction to attacks from others, and how much should we be expected to tolerate before taking some kind of action?
It is easy for others to tell you not to respond and to ignore the attacks and "send them love", but when it happens to them, they often don't take their own advice! It really isn't easy is it!
I am trying to change to be a better all round human being and to care for the world and the people in it, as we are all part of the one, and thus part of the all. So when we hurt others we must in turn be hurting ourselves.
So I am working for change and ask you all to try and do the same - let's attempt to take the anger and hate out of the world and BE the changes we all want to see.
