It's unavoidable that if you engage with other people, you'll be subjected to a variety of grievances, glares, and smirks (if not downright rude gestures). The driver that cuts you off, the person in front of you in the "15 items only" line with 25 things in their cart, and the salesperson who refuses to make eye contact while texting on their phone are all aggravating, whether their conduct is intentional or not.

You fume, and you talk to yourself about how awful these people are, and how you would never behave in that manner. You're upset for good reason, and you'll be that way for the rest of the day. You then impose your bad attitude on anybody you come into contact with, whether it's a coworker, a child, a partner, or a friend. You're suddenly all thumbs, dropping things, having trouble finding what you're searching for, and your back is acting up again.

What Attracts Like, It comes as no surprise. In an energy sense, and when you're in a bad place, you lose sight of the goodness all around you and inside you. You can only relate to things that are similar to your bad mood in some.  The remedy is to admit that you were disrespected or refused. Recognize the behavior as something you don't want in your life and refuse to get attached to it. In a nutshell, don't cling to anything. Don't clutch onto the person's rudeness as if it were a life preserver and cling to it for dear life. Allow yourself to relax. Immediately, completely, entirely. Yes, they were annoying. It's alright if you don't like it. It's finished.

You know, it's not so much the insult or the cutting-in-front that bothers you. There's a chance you'll have to wait 5 minutes longer than you planned, and you'll have to remember to keep an eye out for possibly reckless drivers, but there's no actual risk.

You're upset and annoyed, but not irreparably injured, unless you want it to be that way.

The more you rage, linger on the slight, and relive it repeatedly in your mind's theater, the bigger it seems, and sure, you might cause yourself harm over this insignificant occurrence.

You've got better things to do with your time in this magnificent world. Forgive the individual if you can (who knows what's going on in their lives?). That's OK if you can't, but at the absolute least, release go and walk away. You'll be happy as a result.
