Well, sometimes one can answer their own questions. An excercise of posting a question/concern can invite a chance for personal resolve in a different light.

What I have come to realize in a very unfortunate way is that when we experience a toxic person at a very young age it can taint us more than we realize. Reasoning can be skewed by this, I have, myself been tangled up in interactions that seemed to just present me with an element of surprise. If this happens, I may react from the anger that a toxic person somehow bestowed upon me. What may seem reason at the time for me may not be the best reaction overall. It can be difficult when another person starts the inappropriate interaction due to their own exposure to something toxic in their past. It IS a challenge and the one thing I DO know is that two wrongs do not make a right.

I must admit it can be a slippery slope and on a grander scale can end up in war where the cost is substancial. I guess it is an element in human behaviors that can be very troubling.
