Don't take anything personally
What others say and do is a projection of their own reality
When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won't be the victim of needless suffering.
One effective way to de-personalize is to put yourself in the other persons shoes, even for just a moment. For example, consider the offender youre dealing with, and complete the sentence: It must not be easy

Sorry if they support sending Honduran children back into a war zone. If they are at peace with fracking. If it doesn't matter that an FBI investigation on a presumed party leader could effectively kill the party. If pay for play is a-okay. Then I really don't care even a little if something isn't easy for them. We are simply not in the same universe of thinking. I would rather try to find common ground with CONS who would make exceptions and grant amnesty to Honduran children because they have a heart enough to make exceptions for children who would be in danger. That understand the environment needs protection. That would ask one of theirs to step down for the sake of their party. That have enough morals to not take bribes to get the privilege of being able to by mass killing machines. And shockingly enough there are some CONS that have some principals even though we might disagree on taxes and some social issues.

HRC posters rarely post here.. and two; I have a whole host of pro Bernie images in my signature line. I'm very very pro Bernie.

(14,177 posts)Sorry about that I was thinking they and typing you for some reason. Even rereading it a couple of times I was hearing they in the places I had you no you you, general you.
