Matt,

This was very insightful, thank you for taking the time to respond and help me. I really took to heart how Buddha reacted to the man and that is such a simply and intelligent way to go about it. I know that the right and better thing to do would to not have his cousin effect me because he himself is just upset with how certain things in his life are that he feels the need to project his anger onto my relationship. Like Buddha said, the anger does not belong to the buddha but to the man so why be personally upset. Such a great way to think about things!

Thanks!
Caitlyn 🙂
