Vexatious
"Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit."
Desiderata(<--click that!) - Max EhrmannI myself use to be a very loud person, especially in my youth. As the years have passes I have grown a bit. So my loudness isn't as regular as it use to be. Yes on occasion I do fancy walking the streets after a good night out a bit tipsy screaming "Muddahfukaaaaaah". But that has not becomes common place in my day to day life.
Over the years I have had to simma down. I believe it because of my experiences with "loud and aggressive" persons. From friends to family, I have been astonished at how loud and aggressive behavior effects other as well as how the fuggg they look. In being subjected to these type of people, especially in my living arrangements from my childhood to my adulthood, I have learned to investigate the inner workings of such "loud and aggressive" persons. "What is their problem," I have all too often asked myself. "How are they so vexatious to the spirit," is my second most asked question.
Let me ask you. Do you know someone that in the heat of disagreement (maybe once the yelling stops) will mumble to themselves, still bitching under their breath? Do you know someone that when something isn't going their way or you do not give them your undying attention goes into frequent tirades? Do you know someone that is constantly starting arguments with accusations and paranoid schizophrenic delusions in a feeble attempt to explain your behavior? Do you know someone that bitches and moans about their own inner problems that they expect others to fix for them, or better yet uses these excuses in verbal attacks? Do you know someone that must always constantly revert to arguing vs. talking shit out? Do you know someone that even when having a intellectual debate must always cut you off or talk over you during what should be a fair exchange of ideas? Do you know someone that is soooo opinionated that they must by any louder-than-you means scream it down your throat? Well then you know one of these vexatious types.
Now, granted usually some people have a few of these traits. But in my lifetime I've come across a few that take it to the extreme. They use every chance to steal your energy. I also like to call them energy vampires. They just suck and suck and suck until they are done feeding on the living. Virtual dead souls that refuse to take the time and do the work to make their own peace within themselves. Yes, Max was correct to warn us of these type of people. All too often once they've got their grip it is quite difficult to rid yourself of the parasite. But let me tell you, they must be gotten rid of because they will suck and suck and suck until there is nothing of yourself left. Family, thats a whole notha program. *sigh*
Now to take it further there are other vexation to the spirit types. But you know what? I’m not even going there. Maybe some other time.
Just heed the warning.
