There is a good way to respond to all of life's problems. Stay calm.

Calm people may seem always in control, but there are times that the pressure and stress can overwhelm them too, as it does to any of us. The only difference is that they all have an outlet. They find ways to release the negativity. For some, a good cry helps them feel better right away. Some listen to music, do hobbies, take walks or do whatever activity that will help release all the negative feelings inside.

Calmness is always Godlike

A Buddhist story is that a man came shouting angrily at Buddha, who remained unaffected by him. When questioned by others as to how he remained calm and unaffected, Buddha answered with a question. “If someone gives you a gift and you choose not to receive it, to whom then does the gift belong?” Of course it stays with the giver.

Courtesy is the grease that lubricates society.

You cannot grow a lotus on a granite rock. So too you cannot grow loving kindness in a granite heart.
