Gandhi was a follower of the teachings of Henry David Throux. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/topics/topic_wisdom.html
My personal method of navigation through angry barriers is to acknowledge the fact that something was said by repeating “Thank You” very matter of fact way, without raising my voice or expressing any sign of aggression. When any angry phrase is given I return with a sincere “Thank you”.
The reason many are aggressively outspoken is because they have learned that nothing they have to say is accepted as true unless it is shouted angrily. So, a softly spoken and often repeated, sincere “Thank You” has a disarming effect on the aggressor.

My answer is I agree with all of your answers! One thing that I really hate is someone spitting on you or at you! This is most disgusting!

I have an issue that I need to find out if I can (or can not) turn the other cheek. You will find it here on the board and I need some help with it.
Bob, Congratulations. I don't know where your list of well wishes is so I'll say it now and I will say it again when I see it.
p.s. I see in my first paragraph I used the word "issue" Just yesterday I told a friend that I would never use the word "issue"
Now, "having said that "I'll be on my way. (That's the other one) I'm off target today. : )

Hi Bob long time no see. Been very busy last two months. I turn the other cheek a lot. But I try to stand up for myself and others often. The last stand for me is when people try to discredit my name and perhaps job performance. I try to be an upstanding person and always give 100 % or more on the job. So that's a sensitive area for me. A bad review for work well done rubs me the wrong way.
