> now you lose your shit when the kid at Mcdonalds messes up your order because he upset your calm second time you described a situation like this as if it's perfectly normal behaviour. it's not. and it's got nothing to do with meditation either. is this yourself? or do you witness this sort of scene frequently? you realize that if you say "well they probably have a lot on their plate, so they lose their shit at the tiniest slight", this makes you part of the problem right? because, and it feels a little silly explaining to a person over the age of 12, but verbally abusing someone, be it in a shop or anywhere else, is never appropriate or acceptable, no matter where they put your olives, and no I don't care who started it. > this is what the Buddha intended the nice thing about not fully buying into Buddhism and still practising meditation is that you don't have to place any extra importance to what scholars say that some guy may or may not have said or intended thousands of years ago.
