the Mather mansion. the exquisite distinctions one person has with another.
To live peaceably, dealing with irritation is at times a
formidable challenge. Is it possible to respond to irritation
like the oyster does, by exuding a response that builds
beauty rather than creates adversity?
The goal is to live such that we build an inventory of
appreciation for fellow humans that enables us to respond
to irritants by covering the irritation with constructive human
substance; including love, trust, and empathy. Empathy, for
example, is a choice that can lead to meeting irritation with
understanding and a drive toward peace. Thich Nhat Hanh
says that, “The practice of peace and reconciliation is one of
the most vital and artistic of human actions.” Indeed, it is a
matter of relationship art to create our own unique human
response to the grist in the gears of our daily life.
The challenge: Turn irritation into inspiration by overcoming
destructive impulse with the golden restraint of treating
others like we want to be treated.
