Dear Lisa:

It would upset me too if someone removed my label off the shelf, and if my employer lost my paycheck and if someone talked to me in a disrespectful tone and if I was pressured to spend less time in the kitchen and so forth. All these things and many more have bothered me very much for many years. It is the extent of how much things bother me that I hope has changed. It is possible to be less bothered, less disturbed when those things happen. When we are less disturbed, less distressed, we function more effectively, less overwhelmed and more reasonable.

The option of living in a world where everyone will behave like they should doesn’t exit.
