Obviously irritated
All of us have the potential to get irritated. Beyond that, to find a way to take offence. Beyond that, to get up on our high horse and shout in the wind. All of us. Just not most of the time. Probably not today, on a holiday.
Which means that when we come across someone who is obviously irritated, is taking offence, is up and jumping over fences waving a crop in their hand … we’re not sure how to deal with it.
On our bad days, we take offence and join the bun fight.
On our best days, we see it for what it is, let it run its course, and get on with the next thing.
On all days, after the fact, look in the mirror. How was our (over)-reaction? Did we play a part we could have played differently? Next time, could we play it better?
