Mindful Doodles #509: When adult children complain about you
The old man with wispy hair on the left, complains to his friend that his adult daughter grumbles about his habits at home. Its kind of sad that he’s stuck. He has to live with his daughter who is trying to get him to change his habits. However, he might try to change or modify his habits, to broker peace.
Meditation
When you hear someone grumbling about an unhappiness, what is your response? You lend your listening ear. You don’t need to add fuel to the fire. You meditate when you don’t respond to sound. If you say inflammatory things, the opposite party may quote you to others and then you might get into trouble.
