I agree on controlling your mind and emotions, and not letting them control you. There are those in this world you won't be able to relate to very well. It's not a perfect world and we are not perfect human beings, this is the nature of being human. Try and exercise the inner wisdom in applying these fundamental facts to your everyday life, and maybe the burden may bear less on you. To give in to your lower faculties, which is what some of us are observing in this thread, is for you to let those that don't know any better affect you - invade your senses and let you defeat yourself. I don't think anyone can say they enjoy the idea of people controlling your life by being nothing but what they are, people; imperfect, obstinate, degenerate... though only one-half of the whole that makes us human. Look at the positive that exists in people even if you don't witness it, and realize its inside you too.
