Quite often these days the blabber is all about the lessons of everything being nice and pretty. The true lessons show up in places that are uncomfortable. As the Dalai Lama says, It's easy to become enlightened in a monestary. Good Journeying to you here on earthschool!

But I do however believe in culling the leechers & the drainers away from our being. Cultivating tolerance is one thing, enabling a bad habit of energetic dependence is another altogether. Irritation has its place in our experience, like all other negative emotions. It serves as a like alarm bell, but not just for one thing but for many. Irritation can be a sign that one needs to cultivate more tolerance & acceptance, but it can also be a sign that it's time to cut strings. I do believe that it is healthy to stay in touch with people with whom you can all agree to healthily debate & agree to disagree. It is all for the love of the diversity of humanity. The more viewpoints the better, even totally clashing ones. It makes for a much more colorful life. As with many things, it is all about discernment here. Irritation is merely the bell that rings but what that ring is supposed to mean, only we will be able to know for ourselves. Elimination for the sake of running away will never work.
