Mean people

Years ago I posed the question to my great grandmother "why are people so mean and she said simply " because they can". Does that make it ok, no.

I have found that the anger that inhabits  the mean spirited person is equal to the fear that inhabits them. When you don't understand and do not take the initiative to learn and understand that which you do not know fear grows an grows and you push it deeper and deeper till you hate and it spills out in many ways and you begin to hate yourself.

You can also heal the hate simply " because you can". It is so much easier to take a step to understand than hold steadfast onto that which controls your "fear". You do not have to agree but can agree to disagree and maybe even find a neutral ground and take a step forward in peace.

When you have been slighted or mistreated take the stance of understanding that it has nothing to do with you and you cannot change another and face your own anger and fear around what has upset you.  Change your fear into knowledge and find the kindness inside yourself and you will set your self free and draw to yourself those that in turn are kind, like attracts like.

The next time a mean person targets you, get out of the way and send the love and love yourself. Understanding will follow because it does.
