Yes I like your comments Tukaram, and agree with them.
Many many years ago I talked this over with a lovely Buddhist monk and this is the little story that he told me:
What does a fire do. A fire burns. That is its basic nature. So the only thing you can do is to get out of its way.
He was referring to people who treat us badly. THAT is their basic nature. They are going to burn you. So the only thing we can do, is to stop making excuses for them and just get out of their way.
Yes, I also agree that they are full of pain and after all, we can only give out what we have inside and we know that, that is why they act the way they do.
This little story really helped me many times in my life.
