Guest guest Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Well, you can't do anything about other people's actions, you really just can't. All you really can even try to change is your reactions to them. So, do you feel like this intolerance is serving you in any way at all? My guess would ne that it's just dragging down your mood, time, and energy, and serving no positive purpose at all. We can never really know what goes on in other people's lives, and so really have np right to judge them And even if we did, it serves absolutely no purpose, towards either altering their behavior, or improving the lot of any other sentient being. All its likely, really, to accomplish, is to leave YOU less able to achieve anything at all, as it'll get you all cranked up and unhappy. I could now get all Buddhist-y on you, and go on about ways of working with one's afflictive emotions, but I'll spare everyone that!

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 Hi, I would have to agree with Gaije, you can't allow yourself to get all worked up on other people's actions. You can't try to control or judge others. It'll just emotionally drain you. Do what you think is right and don't worry about what others are doing. Well, you can't do anything about other people's actions, you really just can't. All you really can even try to change is your reactions to them.
