@sogdianrock Exactly. I think life is just trying to wear me down a bit.

hi EllaDisenchanted
Harsh Life events and mean people do assault us all of the time but we must be totally committed to remain full of joy and inviolable.

inviolable
ɪnˈvʌɪələb(ə)l/Submit
adjective
never to be broken, infringed, or dishonoured.
"an inviolable rule of chastity"
synonyms:inalienable, absolute, untouchable, unalterable, unchallengeable, unbreakable, impregnable; More

This is very important. It is our prime duty. Once cynical we are useless to helping others to be inviolable.

This is a a very important question btw. There should be a best question award! This would get it!
Best wishes

@SW-User Well control isn't the issue, really. I'd hate to be in control of other people. Just the willful stupidity mixed with the outright buffoonery is getting old.

@EllaDisenchanted well yes,but I choose how I respond and with whom I interact with outside work.

hi justmerae
Yours is a most interesting answer! You have constructed a defence. Wise of you.
