It's a hell of a trap, though... because every person you encounter whose position/opinion you can't change, and this will be the vast majority of people (as I'm sure you know), you will just get angry and frustrated. The more it happens, the more angry you become in general and the faster you get angry each time it happens.
I was that way for quite a long time. Not so much anymore. Learn to walk away, and save yourself a lot of headache.  |
Yeah, this is what I usually call the "tar baby" when I notice it happening in my life. It happens on TFP a lot, but also in other venues where I just get so super-heated that I have to walk away. It's a very, very slow learning process, and takes a lot of ego-reduction in order to succeed. Sigh.
