Seriously, thank you all so much for the feedback...

Just one more thing... When I mentioned that I wouldn't get angry; what I meant was that while it might sting a little at first, the feeling passes quickly. I don't harbor any real hatred toward those people, nor am I actually mad... I just can't bring myself to hold a grudge. It feels like if I tried to force myself to be resentful, it just wouldn't work. So now...????

Honestly, it’s such a relief to see someone else on the same page here. For the longest time, I genuinely thought I was some kind of prehistoric relic for feeling this way, but... turns out there are others of us.
I mean, what’s even the point of getting worked up? What do you actually gain by holding a grudge against someone?
It just drains my own battery, you know? It's a total waste of energy that I could be using somewhere much more productive.
I truly believe we all have the right to think whatever we want. If someone wants to sit around wallowing in negativity or harboring bad thoughts, that’s entirely their burden to carry, not mine.
I can't help but feel like this mindset is kind of a higher level of consciousness. It isn't about being passive or indifferent, it’s just about having that deep understanding and accepting everyone exactly as they are. At the end of the day, that’s basically the whole core of those Eastern philosophies anyway.

Every now and then, you really ought to utilize a decent dictionary—maybe even smash something if you have to—otherwise, this whole thing might end up getting on your nerves or, heaven forbid, causing some actual dermatological issues.

That’s usually my reaction when I hear someone is unwell, and then you see it all playing out... the anger, the bickering, the petty neighborhood gossip. It’s exhausting. Wouldn't it be better if people actually looked out for one another? But apparently, that's asking too much...

😉

My dear friends... Have you ever found yourselves in a position where you simply can't bring yourselves to hold a grudge? Where you realize certain people have treated you quite poorly, yet you feel no anger toward them whatsoever... No resentment, no bitterness... just nothing.
I am curious to know how healthy that actually is... and if it's even a good thing at all...??
