Kill 'em With Compassion
A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe… He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us… Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
-- Albert Einstein
So I found the above quote while studying (okay, messing around on the web) and it reminded me of that ass from Analytical Chem. I still cannot believe how hurt and irritated I am by him! Obviously he is either a prick or has some sort of issues going on that I don't know about since we don't really know each other but it still just pisses me off that he was a jerk about the whole thing. I really need to just forget about him and focus on my studies but it is not going as smoothly as I had hoped. I find myself wanting to hunt his ass down just so I can give him a piece of my mind--not that I can afford to lose any! I know it wouldn't really do anything productive but it would make me feel better. I try to understand that I don't really know what is going on at his end but really I just want to kick his sorry little ass. :-)
Obviously, the whole idea of compassion toward all is rather new to me and it is going to take a while to decide how well it fits.
