I just read a post which I think is illuminating regarding what I (and probably others) struggle with sometimes.

I hope it's ok to post it, my purpose is to try to help others avoid some of the painful pitfalls I've fallen into...

If you encounter people in your travels who are intent on blaming others (as in you) and are intent on projecting "stuff" onto you...

Separation of Stuff!

look at the situation from a distance if you can (hard to do sometimes I know)

I love this "it's not my circus, not my monkeys "

Fuzzy, You are wonderful for sharing this insight. Getting distance from the problem puts it in a long term perspective, in 6 months or 6 years it may not even be remembered.

It is the world's circus and the world's monkeys and we just happen to have walked into the big top. It's not our show, but we can enjoy it as best we can.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
