Don't Take Anything Personally
Our relationships with others are the source of most of our afflictions. Love causes suffering. Friendship causes suffering. Family causes suffering. Work relationships cause suffering...
In reality, emotions are like ping-pong balls. Anger, sadness, disgust, and even joy... Most emotions do not belong to us: they are transmitted to us by others. And we pass them on in turn.
Yet, there is a radical way to stop all afflictions arising from our relationships with others dead in their tracks: don't take anything personally.
Here is what Master Selim Aïssel says to illustrate this point. I encourage you to check out his YouTube channel, which is a truly rich and valuable resource.
Of course, we find this principle in Don Miguel Ruiz's Four Agreements and, well before him, among the Stoics of Ancient Greece (Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, etc.).
By putting this exercise into practice every day—which stops emotional contagion—we relieve our mind of an unnecessary burden.
