This is a great message and something that we should always keep in the back of our minds. I've had a few managers who used such a fake tone, as though talking to a child. Countless people who have more than us (money, popularity, etc) will indeed try to make us feel bad about ourselves because they feel bad about themselves. Few people are truly happy living in the moment, especially Christians and such. They sure can be good at hiding it though.
A strong AoP is absolutely essential! I find that if I maintain one, (along with a strong aura, lots of cleaning daily), people's negative thoughts and energies don't effect. I used to feel this internal frustration and confusion as to why people are so stupid, petty and lack motivation. Some more than others, but in general this is the state of most people in our world due to the constant programming on media everywhere going on 24/7. Most people in the developed world talk and act just as people on TV do. Some examples when I'm at work are:
1.) "I don't want to be here", or "I can't wait to go punch out." I hear this practically everyday that I work.
2.) "This one customer/person did or said this and they are a stupid person because of it." Gossip and complaining about how others are 'lower' than you in order to make yourself feel better. This is based in low self esteem. A better approach is to feel sorry for them rather than feeling angry.
3.) "I wish I could afford this or that and I'm tempted to, but I'm broke because food prices, etc." Again, poor self-esteem and shifting blame on external and environmental factors incorrectly. If people are on a low budget they should live like they are on one and budget their money more strictly.
4.) Doing the minimum amount of work to get the job done without always seeking out for more work to do.
5.) Talking about things that have no real significance or value, such as "That TV show last night, what I did yesterday, what I ate, who I saw; etc..."
6.) Ideas of gift giving and feeling that you're obligated to do something in return to someone if they do something nice for you, such as give you a trinket or small gift that you don't even want.
7.) Passive-aggressiveness and a constant fear of offending people with direct and honest statements.
I've seen enough of the programming from religion and TV. It's something that is everywhere all the time and we must reconcile this in ourselves and find ways to avoid falling into these traps. I find being honest about my desires and base values helps. People mostly are understanding if you are genuine and respectful, yet being to upfront and direct can make people feel very uncomfortable (trust me, I know).
Most people are understanding and actually look up to my resolve, yet I do get others who seem to think I'm just a very weird person that may have mental problems.
That said, if someone gives me a gift I might return that gesture with something beneficial to them, like some healthy snacks or tea; or something useful, like a notebook or a nice pen from an art store that is in their favourite colour. (These things can be quite affordable).
I only treat people how I want to be treated. They often do the same, yet they don't know what they truly want in life and thus they are trapped in a rat-race of chasing that next dopamine hit.
Building ourselves to be unshakable and resolute is critical, especially if you deal with a lot of stressful situations. People might think you're psychopathic in doing so, yet these are emotionally weak people who think we lack in healthy emotions because we are not on their lower level of consciousness. Some will get it and some won't. This is just life and it's something I've learned to not allow to affect me in any way.
I've had customers who tried to make me feel bad about myself. I once commented to someone who was rushed and seemingly unhappy that "I thought she had great dexterity and would be amazing at working in retail". She scowled at me and said firmly "I would never work here" and stormed off.
In that moment as I felt a small twinge of anger. I then reminded myself that her life is probably a living hell and I'm glad that I'm not like her. It's a crazy world sometimes but we are in the best place to overcome that craziness and to look past it.
