\n Yah:<\/span> <\/span>Why? Who had you offended?
\nJat: That petty client I told you before.
\n Yah:<\/span> <\/span>Haha, someone who can\u2019t take jokes is still better than someone who turns everything into competition.
\nJat: Goodness, did I mention she\u2019s into that too?
\n Yah:<\/span> <\/span>Wahaha… you are in ‘luck’, aren\u2019t you?
\nJat: More like my bad karma ripening! I had apologised. So what would the Buddha do?
\n Yah:<\/span> First of all, he would not joke with someone who can\u2019t take a joke, or engage with someone who turns every conversation into a competition.
\nJat: Well, she\u2019s my client. I need to interact with her, right?
\n Yah:<\/span> <\/span>Yes… let me finish. As we are not like the Buddha, who can read minds, or with skilful means as sharp as his, the best thing to do is to have more mindful interaction with her, and just do your job.
\nJat: The thing is, if I keep mum on the mistakes she made, she would say I sabotaged her. If I rectify her mistakes, she would say I\u2019m insulting her. So I tried \u00a0jokes and …. Well, I can’t win her, not that there were anything to win in the first place. Do you think I \u2018owe\u2019 her big time in my previous life?
\n Yah:<\/span> Woah, could be previous karma, but the solution is in the now. Show her your sincerity, let your superior know what\u2019s going on and in the next meeting, request a third party to be present – so that she would be more clear-minded and less personal!
\nJat: I guess will do that.
\n Yah:<\/span> <\/span>Aiya, don\u2019t be disheartened. Just try your best and radiate more metta (loving-kindness). Smile more – don\u2019t let her negativity affect you. Sooner or later, she will realise her mistakes and wake up. Hatred cannot cease hatred, only love can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
