I tend to exhibit the negative qualities of those people who upset me. For example, if I’m treated with disinterest or am dismissed, I’ll likely become and do the same. Unfortunately, I won’t merely “return the favor” to the person who upset me; rather, I’ll embody those characteristics to anyone who encounters me. Eventually I’ll cool down, but by that point I am left feeling cold, alone, and full of remorse. Why is it so easy to disrupt my peace? Why is it so hard to regain once it has been disrupted?
