We, as upcoming masters, are developing the skill and ability to manage us basically. Since we are aware of more things around us, like our emotions, we can more or less choose how we want to feel. That is to say, we do not have to react anymore to any situation if we are aware enough, but we can choose how we want to feel then and there. My question is this: to people who do not know that their lives and their emotions are their own responsibility, how do we now go about comunicating with them? Do we have to be carefull no to upset them or can we be free to express ourselves and if someone misinterpets us it is only their own judement?
I will give an example:
This is a real situation of mine. From time to time I borrow my aunts car (I do not own one) and she has never refused to lend it to me. A couple of days ago I wanted to borrow it again, but she was away with her parents out of town. The good thing was that her husband was at home. He has his own car, which very big, heavy, powerfull, expensive. Borrowing, not even mentioning driving it, requires more responsibility from me. But the very act of borrowing such a car almost makes me something more, somebody who can accept more responsibility. That day I had a vision: to borrow my aunts car and go out of town to a near beautiful village with my friend to have a nice evening by a beautiful lake. What I did was I talked with my aunts husband and he agreed to lend me his car (never asked him that before, but have driven it before), but he did hesitate a bit. Anyways in the end I didn't borrow the car because I didn't want him to worry either about me or the car even though I had the green lights to fullfil my vision. Overall was this a good choice I made or was this my reaction to his emotions?
And this is what I mean, how do we now deal with others people reaction and emotions?
