Facts cannot make us angry. Judgements can make us angry. Judgements are not facts. > So it really isn't the ignorance of others that is so painful....it > is actually our own resistance to it, right? Yeah, to allowing others to just be who they are. But that ain't no fun when we don't allow ourself to be who we are too. :-) And if we can observe > our own resistance (even when it's enormous, 'cause Silence is always > bigger and always wins in the end), Not always. Sometimes silence is golden.

Usually (always?) when we say something in anger, we regret it. But we don't have to broil internally at all. What's to get mad at with the ignorance of others? There are sooo many things we all are ignorant of. Like I was just at the advaitan list checking it out, and boy did I feel dumb. :-) Recognizing ignorance in another doesn't have to press our buttons. It just is what it is. If it's important for you to speak up about another's ignorance, then say it. There's a lot of places and things I've experienced, but also a lot I haven't. > Just discovering this in this moment, myself, And where else would you be?
