Turn the other cheek
Being raised a Jew I never bought into the turn the other cheek philosophy – I think eye for an eye was at the root of all my conflict resolution until I hit my first divorce and in the separation of property phase, what ensued poisoned my system and I walked away rather than stay and fight. Even though most of what we had was given to us by my father. But I learned then that people fight over things because things become the vocabulary of emotions.
My sister text me today saying she is on her way in and she wants mom’s keys, the code, a list of the doctors, what they specialize in, and she doesn’t want any “ugly comments” out of me. So rather than FUCK YOU, I just didn’t respond. I have the keys and the code in an envelope all ready for her and I’m not engaging.

Taurus (4/20-5/20)Ouch! Someone’s working their way under your skin and trying to provoke you. Instead of being irritated by what you see as their needless rebellion, take a step back and a deep breath and view things objectively. Maybe they actually have a point? Would changing your mind and your ways on this matter actually benefit you in the long run? These are all very good questions to consider.
