I used to think that we have to try to reconcile with people who are prone to toxic behavior, because there are affects and causes that go against their probable intentions toward being good people–which we should be compassionate about; but then I heard the new information about neuroscience (which, by the way supports the aforementioned, to a degree), which shows how we are really a product of the brains we were born with, their neurochemistry, our daily environment, our habits and personal philosophies—none of which can change unless we are capable of change to alter all that—which means that people who cannot change and do not try to are going to continue to be toxic–which is going to make you toxic if you remain around them–(big inhale!)–I was forced to think differently….
Some of us are lucky in that our brains allow for us to apply methods of change–some are not… or are resistant to such. Until they change, you are best to be without them.
