Hahaha, I have avoided them all thus far, touch wood. A bit tough at times as some even tried to get mec arrested via a dubious plot and we laughed at them. Nothing worse that laughing at a serious pompous person. The same as bullets hahahah.

Oh, that sounds hectic! Yes, we cannot but laugh at serious situations (or at least when they are over). But we need to keep going on. Cannot stand to the side or turn around!

All good as that took place a long time ago and I am still doing the same thing.
After a time, they fell into the same traps that they set for others.
Such is life my friend.

I just had this conversation with my dad, albeit in a different context. It is so easy to show or point to mistakes others make, but when we do this we most certainly make the same mistakes. But we need to continually work on ourselves for if we better ourselves it will spill over to others.

They say that what you hate in others is inside yourself.
Hurt people will draw other hurt people and likewise with happy people.

That is so true. I feel that in so many situations. People who are vehemently for or against something, and so on, will always struggle the most with those things. As you said, that hate is internal and reflects like a mirror to the self.

Exactly right, seek for what you see in others, good or bad. inside yourself, for so it is.

But this might help you grow as well. Or, when you see the bad in others and realize it soon enough you can work on it. I saw an interview yesterday with an old man and the interviewee asked him what is some life lesson for younger generations. He answered: do not get mad at people and accept their differences.

Yep, our motto is to first walk in another's shoes before you judge them.
That's why I like to stay in the background, as I am not an easy guy and many don't understand me.
But it also works in my favor, as then I have time to study people.
Now you know my secret.

I like to call this "fermenting", or brewing. Using all the culinary terms. To stay in the background and think things over, to slow down. And as you said, to walk first in the shoes of others. Your secret is safe with me!

Fermenting and brewing makes me think that your are a culinary master hehehe.
I do not have a suitable term for what I do, but the habit results from many lessons, both good and bad that I learned in life.
I find myself doing the same thing in my photographic life, as I can stand dead still for hours and then suddenly in a blink of an eye I can get my target on camera.
Marian calls me a statue hahaha.

!BEER

That is perfect yes! I often lay in the garden like that statue observing as life continues to go about living around me. Waiting for that perfect shot that rarely comes. But the whole experience is worth every second.

Many lessons are learned when we take time right. Hastily moving on without time spent reflecting results in a possible lesson being learnt lost.
