The simplicity of my day to day.

Prompt:
"Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper."
Robert Frost
Is what Robert Frost says true for you? What makes you lose your temper?

I rarely lose my temper, being angry takes too much energy I don’t have. I despise confrontation. The only person who can make me angry is someone close to me and I’ve made a conscious decision to remove myself from them. It’s been a difficult decision as my family are everything to me but it’s been having a detrimental effect on my health.
Generally I try to see other’s point of view, after all they think they’re right as much as I think I’m see the truth of the matter. But the way the world is headed these days and observing so called intellectual discourse between world leaders if they can’t agree to agree, or even disagree amicably, what chance do the rest of us have?
It seems that religion is always behind these conflicts, whose beliefs are right?
I’m non religious but if I chose to follow a way of life it would be Buddhism. It seems that followers believe that nothing is all bad or all good and hold a “let’s wait and see” attitude.
