“Learning to be calm
when you’re disrespected
is a superpower”
I’m sure
that we all agree that
‘this is difficult’.
When another person is rude to us
and disrespectful,
we just want to retaliate
and fire back.
It is (kinda) human nature
to want to do this.
It certainly is a ‘superpower’
to remain Calm
and to do the opposite
(or nothing).
It is at times like this
that we should look after ourselves
and not the other person.
They are being unkind.
We should be “Kind” to ourselves.
Being Calm
is to have a Beautiful Quality
in our Lives.
To maintain
our own Inner Peace,
at a time like this,
will Help ourselves
-------
Mentally,
Emotionally and
Physically.
Remaining Calm
will keep our Minds Balanced
in a Positive Way.
Remaining Calm
takes any hurt away from us
Emotionally.
Remaining Calm
protects us Physically
because then we will not fight.
And it is
the “Stronger” thing to do.
Having Empathy and Understanding
will also Help.
For the other person, yes.
But also for Ourselves too.
This also emphasizes
the very real ‘reality’
that we ourselves
do not disrespect
other people.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

i love this piece
Your superpower was knowing that there is an audience for this particular story
I jumped on this as soon as I saw it, I am practicing this exact thing. Staying calm even when I am disrespected. I loved your thoughts on this, we can do a lot of damage to ourselves simply by reacting.
