Mayka,
What Zen practice do you engage in to neutralize this strong feeling of
anger and aversion you experience; and embrace the arrogant, cold,
individualistic pricks with a warm heart, thereby helping them heal
their wounds?
Could these arrogant, cold, individualistic pricks actually be your
teachers, who show you that your warm heart need not be independent of
ambiance, and thereby furnish you with an opportunity to maintain the
warmth of your heart, regardless?
