As we journey in life, we encounter different kinds of people with
different characters. The most challenging of all are the "grouchy"
ones. The best attitude in dealing with them is to -keep cool- by
making most of the situation, that you retain your composure while
also respecting another persons right to his grouchiness. Never
take their grouchiness personally, its just the way they are. Accept
them as they are in the same way we accept that roses have thorns
- part of creative process. It is a self expression of who they are and
not its substance. Usually their grouchiness have reasons, it maybe
a chronic disease, family or relationship problem or whatever.
Respect them for all we know, they are created to challenge us to be
the best we can be.
Remember the prayer of S. Francis :
"Lord, help me to understand rather than to be understood. . . Amen
