Hi Jenny,

I'm delighted that you found my blog! You're so right about anger. On a metaphysical level, it's the cause of cancer. But it also damages health on many levels. I'll never hear from "Mike" again. He's too angry. But I wish him well.

Hi Daylle, I just found your blog through Albert and am so happy I have! I love your entry on compassion. It takes self awareness and strength to act as you did towards "Mike" and MANY can learn from your words. I used to be so caught up in everyone's problems and take it upon myself to "cure" people but only that person can decide they want to feel better and be conscious. I hope someday your words resonate with Mike and he feels it is worthwhile to examine the anger and deal with it. Unresolved anger can also cause physical illness along with the emotional turmoil as I know well! Thanks -- I look forward to reading more of your posts! Gratefully, Jenny

Thanks for stopping by Todd! Two years I drove around the whole country solo for a national book tour and listened to The Power of Now in the car. It's awesome! And how I live.

Thanks for writing this article and for reviewing the Dalai lama's book. I have also read it, and it is awesome.
You should also try The Power of Now by Echart Tolle, which I just finished and blew me away.

Hi Connie,Thanks so much for your very kind words!...

Hi Connie,

Thanks so much for your very kind words! I had the same kind of mom, which is why I became a DoorMat. It's a great blessing to learn life's truths and actually implement them for your highest good, despite your former behavior. : )

Cheers,
Daylle

Hi Rahul,

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing the quote about getting burned. When I had no compassion, my anger burned in a self-destructive way. Now I'm happy every day and want to help others achieve that!

Cheers,
Daylle

This is one of the best real life posts I've read on dealing with other's pain and subsequent bad actions. I grew up with a very compassionate mom, learned at her knee, but failed to learn the difference between compassion and being a doormat. I liked the description of how you actually dealt with your angry friend. Thank you, Connie

Hi Daylle,
Lovely post. You have very nicely told, how to deal with harsh situations in real life. It's a good quideline for others who face similar circumstances.

I once read a quote by Buddha, which said "Being angry is like holding to a hot coal, with the intention of throwing it at someone else. You end up getting burned."

Glad to see you helping yourself and others, to move away from self-destructive notions.

Thanks,
Rahul
