Aversion

[humble soul]

It's something I might suffer from. It must be sinful. I define it as "strong dislike". A character trait I don't like in someone, can grow for me to the point of "yuk".
I think it's very common. It's aligned with impatience and intolerance. The opposite of love.
Hey I'm just another sinner. Am I worse than you?

In a public sauna yesterday.
A young guy interrupts my conversation . The topic was social media and showing our shadow online. Soon we learn he is a student at a prestigious university studying psychology. Then talks like an authority on the subject. I mention that Jordan Peterson doesn't have to use big words to show his intelligence. He adds that he has graduated from Peterson and is now on to more renowned psychologists.
On one level it is amusing. That he is so insecure he has to tell us what college he attends. Some people are desperate to appear the winner, the most learned in a group. I let him "win" but I was annoyed by his egomaniacal behaviour.

So one of my pet aversions is "I know it all arrogance". Who think they can't be challenged.

But in my eyes you're the winner in this. By letting him be like that and keeping your cool. That shows a lot more strength the lossing it.
Off course it is normal to get irritated or even a bit angry. Everyone is like that.
But often we think we know better than others. And sometimes we do. Anger is a gift I think. But bitterness is most definitely not. And the line between them is very thin in my experience.
I have learned that even if i am right to get angry. It will always hurt me more than it does the other person.
Salomon said: get angry but don't let the sun go down on your anger. In other words. Don't dwell on it..
But I can relate.. just don't let these thing get a hold of you. Let it go.
What goes around comes around. He will probably not be happy even if he has a status in society.
Fast winning is short lived

I like Peterson. He seems at least humble. ??

That's good advice. This is one reason I write these things out. To get them off my chest. To avoid rumination. And now I feel much better. Thanks.
We need to encourage each other that real strength comes from not reacting to others bad behaviour.

He doesn't use big words. And he taught at Harvard. The guy is outstanding in his field yet his humility is exemplary.

I totally agree. It's very important to get crappy things and thoughts out. That's good about this forum I think

Agreed ? and open! Not locked in one narrow way of thinking. Like many scholars are.

Aren't you from the down unda mate?
Do they need saunas there?
Lol

I think sometimes I meet a very irritating individual. I can just get grumpy the rest of the day.
Maybe this person had a bad day. And we would get along just fine if we met another time and place.
I don't get hung up easily anymore. I just let it slide away and keep going on.
Many of life's problems or challenges comes simply because of misunderstandings. Surcomstances and such.
Humility is an awesome trade. One I put high up and need to get better at myself

I'm from Norway. We need saunas. On every corner ???

To be a little bit serious.. many Christians and people in general don't understand that all of our challenges in life comes from our way of thinking.
What we think is what makes our reality in the future.
We need to be more aware of our thinking. What we accept, listen to and tell ourselves.
This is a great revelation I had not too long ago.
We should test ourselves in this. Many times we think thoughts that are contradictory. We think about what someone else put in our minds.
W should take complete control of our minds and our way of thinking.
And our thinking should always be in line with God's thoughts.
All bad thoughts should be cast away as soon as they come.
The bird and the nest...
