I've noticed over the passed many years that Capital "I" Injustice, infuriates me... when it happens to someone else... however when it happens to me, I don't react. Not that I become all Zen Buddhist Monk and let it roll off without effect (which would be a great reaction if people could perceive the subtle difference between the two), instead, I'm just sort of stunned and at a loss for words... really how could they say that or do that?... but you cross one of my friends of family members and I'm out swinging. It's not even an elapsement of time that accounts for the difference. People don't tell me about what happened, and half an hour later I get angry and say, "You should do this if it happens again." I have an immediate reaction with angry advice... why don't I get these reactions when people treat me poorly. Why do I just accept it?
Umbra was telling me that Dri is the same way... however I'm prone to think that he's more of the Zen Buddhist Monk variety of reactionarist... rather than the "gee ma brane don theenk fast enuf fer a snapee retort" reactionarist...
If anything though, this might be seen as some sort of fail-safe self-preservation instinct. "Kruxy, you rarely have good advice for others... I'm just protecting you from you." |
