When you repay someone else’s brokenness or unkindness with the same treatment, you are deepening the spiritual rift for both souls. Breathe and ask yourself: what is present here that will help me grow/learn/heal? This person has appeared in your life as a mirror, not an obstacle.
@mckra1g valid, but some people are just twats to be removed from your life.

@mckra1g i try to be especially nice to those who come at me. Not online, of course, but in real life.

And in my job, when i go on-site, i get that quite a bit.

I must admit to having less than altruistic motivations. When someone is irate, the biggest insult you can offer them is kindness.
