Why shouldn't we have the luxury of being ideologues and being angry at people all the time?

The clay sculpture shows my wife's remarkable skills. She made the bust of Bodhisattva 9 years ago. I am a health inspector which is my main occupation or bread and butter. One of my jobs is answering complaint phones. I think it has some negative effect on my world outlook. English learning will help me to chase away some of the gloom. And it urges me to judge my choices by common sense. I know there's no other way to position myself out of ordinary common sense but learn and practice continuously. I never expect the aggressive nature of the mighty and the behaviours of the weak venting their negative emotions on the weaker to be changed. But the behavior problems like those make me sit up and think. I used to resent what I saw as bossiness. I once blamed lack of parental control for the young tearaways' behaviour as well. And now, I just pretend to show admirable self - control to myself. Sometimes, such series of sweet smell of success intoxicate him. And of course,I am also vexed at my failures. I am learning to enjoy a kind of practical happiness created by myself in solitude. If we know failure is never quite so frightening as regret do,are there any other approaches to be less painful? Yes! If I had tried my best and failed at last, I would blaze a trail somewhere! Only those gutless and good-for-nothing cowards will be satisfied themselves in sitting back on their laurels.

You said too much through your discussion dear friend...You are talking like a sage...I sincerely admire your self learning and attitude towards the society through your personal experience and solitude! I appreciate your concluding statements while appreciating the beautiful statue of Bodhisattva by your wife! Some how ...am I seeing the reflection of him in your thoughts? God bless dear friend @ClayNCE!

I am a talkative guy online, but I am too quiet to chat with others who habitually guard against each other around me. BTW, I only give my prayer to HIM in person.

Dealing with customer complaints is one of the toughest jobs in the world. It takes a lot of wisdom to do it well without turning people against your employer. People do tend to vent to the one handling complaints, even though the behavior complained about is not the fault of the person listening to the complaints. Solitude is important in keeping me sane, too.

Dealing with complaints over the phone is also one of my jobs. Words fail me.
