I'm having a bit of a rough time recently,
Learning the difference between Assertiveness and Aggression.
I've had three hobnail-booted women give me a right emotional kicking in the last four days:
Two of them have even ganged up together.
(That's OK. Sooner or later they'll turn on each other.)
I'm finding....
Assertiveness is remaining open and sensitive to the rights of others while I protect my own rights in the matter:
Aggressiveness is when I trample on the rights and sensibilities of everyone around while I protect myself.
I'm standing in the questions --
What does it feel like to be free of (the grip of) anger?
What does it feel like to be at peace?
Interesting what's come up, huh?
