With so much time on my hands, and because I feel relatively tuned in to the frustrations of living in a time where (for many reasons) incompetency is on the rise, I tend to see, and be irritated by Things that shouldn't happen.
Ignorance, training inadequacies, misplaced priorities, rudeness, insensitvity, arrogance, disrespect, stubborness, laziness, lack of work ethic, incommunictive and list that can go on forever...
Most eventually lead to some part of a disagreement... and, often to a monetary dispute, as with contracts, failure to perform, billing errors, intransigent large companies with legal firms as big as the company itself... and everyday money disputes.
My sense of moral outrage, over many years, has led to allowing these things to occupy my mind... with plots to "get back at", a twisting and turning... angst that puts a pall on the happier parts of life.
The solution has evolved to a new philosophy. While I will not be a "pushover" and easily accept the "Wrongs"... the new approach is the $100 limit. So if the insult or cost of those irritations is under the $100 value... value = the dollar value or the equivalent in personal hurt... then:
... they get put in a place in the back of the brain that acts as a recycle bin... There, but not a part of my mental desktop.
My DW likes the new me... turned from a fighter, to a lover.
