“Whenever I am tempted to impatience or anger because someone in my group does not agree with me, I will remind myself to place principles above personalities.” (ODAT, 27 December)
First, I shift the anger from the person to the idea.
Then I realise that I need not be angry with the idea: it is abstract.
I can merely recognise that, just as right ideas exist, so do wrong ones. Harmless, in themselves.
