There is an art to loving an unlovable person. After all, life is full
of people who rub us the wrong way. It can be our family, within our
workplace, our church or community. Gossip can be painful and their
habits annoying or hurtful. How do we cope with difficult people.
Christ calls us to love selflessly and ceaselessly. How can we be
genuine with negative emotions?
In the situation of our adult bully, we understand her plight and
shortcomings. She cannot admit that she has shortcomings or has made
mistakes so this can be a difficult situation when trying to stay calm
and collected. Her way of living is absolute and she is unwavering in
her cause of proclaimed righteousness and hate. I laugh at her lies to
the court; her divorce and yet still living with a man. Isn't this
against God and her license as a minister? Again, her bible must be
much different that the one that she wants me to abide by.
In dealing with my mean person, I have decided to move forward in
success and love. Researchers have discovered that it is threatened
self-esteem that drives a lot of aggression. Unfortunately, mean people
are feeling worse about themselves than usual. This drives them to
gossip and find fault. I have taken my bully's meanness as motivation
to make life a success, to make my home comfortable and secure, to make
sure that my husband and children are well taken care of. I no longer
need the approval of others because I am molding myself into the person
that I want to be. It has taken great time and effort but I no longer
dream of what I can be; I am becoming what I can be.
