Margherita- Thank you so much for reading a few of my articles. I really appreciate it. You know and I know there are some people who you just need to walk away from. Mark Twain famously said, “Don’t wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.” I wrote about this in a subsequent article. Verbal Aikido works most of the time. I lovingly challenge you to try it. Saying it doesn’t work because it may not work in extreme situations, which, 99% of the time, we are not dealing with, is not accurate. Who deals with extreme power mongers every day of your life? Perhaps someone who can’t say no, or can’t set boundaries? Anyway, we may agree to disagree, and that is just fine. Either way, have a wonderful weekend and I wish you well in your meditation journey!
