The urge is great to meet anger with anger, frustration with frustration, pettiness with spite. Many people in my life do this; they seem to expect to be belittled and spoken over, ignored and verbally abused, browbeaten, denigrated, and ridiculed. I am learning once again to breathe deeply before speaking, to pause before responding, to hew to the ancient codes I have studies for the past dozen years, to hold myself to a higher standard than that of the average mortal. All the tools are here before me, now I must but use them. Aho.
