Dear List,
It's been a while since we had a mini flame war! I haven't read The Four
Agreements, but they seem synchronistically really relevant to the present flame.
1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Don't take anything personally
3. Don't make assumptions
4. Always do your best.
On, perhaps a relevant topic--
A good friend of mine is constantly feeling taken advantage of. He's
frequently short changed and overcharged in the stores. He often feels lied to and
taken for a fool.
Many people, especially those of color, feel continually dissed
(disrespected).
I often feel my husband criticizes me unfairly.
"Don't take anything personally" is extremely empowering advice!
Our expectations can cause us immense trouble.
When we concentrate on those things that give us pain they often end up
following us biting at our heels. I keep telling my friend he will be taken
advantage of forever until he stops paying attention to it. It's amazing how easy
it is to misinterpret people's intentions, choosing to see them in light of our
weaknesses. It's in part why we often receive what we expect!
Love, Hillary

Has anyone else on this list read "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz?
I find that the wisdom of the Toltec Path as it applies to dealing with self
and others is invaluable. It may go a long way to helping some deal with anger
and understanding the effect others have on us and why.
