Description: It's so easy to give into cynicism, or to treat mean people to a taste of their own medicine. I'd like to talk about why we sometimes choose this, and why people choose to be ignorant and nasty to each other. No really, why, when there is so much to be gained by being kind, do people often choose to buy into a negative, even aggressive approach? Admit it, there was that rude lady in line at the store, and because she was rude you felt justified in being rude right back. Or that idiot who cut you off on the highway, or that asshole on Fetlife who attacked you because you disagreed with him. We have all done this, myself included. Does it really ever make people feel better? I don't think it does. It may give a little short term happiness putting someone down, or joining in on a bitch fest about someone might give feelings of belonging, but really, the only person who really takes harm from that waste of time and that investment of negative energy, are the people saying it. I once read that the person you've resented for doing something to you, likely has no idea or intention of doing something specifically to you, at least for the most part. That they are not conscious of many of the hurts we carry forward with us, especially if they are a stranger. No one wakes up and decides that today their goal is to ruin someone else's day. So how do we, as healthy, loving, compassionate people, shake off the unhappy, and learn to move our energy and time away from dwelling on our hurt feelings? We will discuss why we feel the way we do, how to redirect thoughts away from confrontation/retaliation, and to heal the hurts that thoughtless people sometimes inflict on us. MsCandyCane joins us again to talk about the choices she has made in life that contribute to her happiness, and why moving away from drama and stress can contribute to your overall health and wellbeing!
