 |
|
Hello, Have you notice how many people react (get mad or angry) when show the middle finger? or given verbal words the is (not mentionable) to them!
If you react by getting angry or getting revengeful or mad? DID WE LOSE? .....and the other person WON..cause they got what they wanted...they wanted you to react with anger,fear,madness!
How many of you LOST IN THE PAST? ....and CAN YOU WIN TODAY?
The middle finger (SIGN LANGUAGE)...has a few meanings. If shown and given to you? Who will win?
Aloha, WIN-WIN by not losing |

I just brush it off. No sense getting into trouble by reacting to a finger or words. One of the hallmarks of a warrior is the ability to control emotion and not get set off by words and gestures.

I love to say god bless you to the people, or have a nice day.... something like that....it usually leaves them speechless...and that's a good thing.

In my line of work, I get that kind of stuff all the time. I just don't even worry about it. In the past, I would retort with a like reaction, but anymore, I don't even let it concern me.

| I think it's a really good excersize when someone does this. Our mental state is like our muscles, it requires practise. What an opportunity to see if we can keep our cool! |

The last time someone gave me the finger, I grabbed it and bent it back until they appologized. They never did it again as far as I know.

Well, i would never stand idly by, I would teah the foolish one manners, but i would keep in control so as not to hurt the fool., It would hurt me alot on the inside If I walked away thinking that its no problem, I have done this before and I felt hurt and I stayed up at night thinking about it.
So now I Deal with it....Face to Face...
