“Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.”
Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Buddha
(6th or 5th century BC)
Founder of Buddhism
Try to be patient with “haters” who can only express negativity, divisiveness, and angry rhetoric. When we humans get stuck in angry mode, the struggle back to awareness, compassion, and open-mindedness can be a difficult journey.
