Everything you pointed out is so true! We all have choices about how we respond to others behavior, but we can only feel responsiblity for
our own actions, (or inactions). Other's behavior that is unrelated to
us, (even though it may not feel that way, especially if they try to drag you into it), is beyond our control, so accepting the guilt for other peoples poor choices, or behavior isn't something we need to add to our own, (already full), plates!
