A hard lesson learning: No social or antisocial action of another is personal to me…no matter how much it seems my name is attached to that action. The only way another’s behavior can affect me is by my reaction to it.
This is certainly one of the most difficult things with which my reasoning mind deals. Probably (mainly?) because my ego Lucy is ever on patrol, and Lucy always, always, always legislates for Lucy...that's her job and she does it well.
I, however, must needs focus on my job which is to accept Lucy being Lucy (resist not) and continue to seek still more spiritual growth. I know I'm on the right track when I quit judging how poorly I'm doing and feel grateful that I'm doing at all.
Gratitude is simply acknowledging God's grace.
Thank you.
