ZINGERS: affect our inner atmosphere, in effect, poisoning it. So many forces in life are designed to make you forget you have your own individual life, and you have moments of experience in your life. The effect of an insult is to dislodge the rational. If you are oblivious to the moment-by-moment situation and to the people around you, you're a sitting duck. All insults are insults to consciousness, and to the extent they pass by unrecognized, to that extent a person is "unconscious." When you aren't using yourself, someone or something else is. The "friendly" insult? Like "good old boys" polluting the river downstream Why not use a "friendly" defense?
APPARENT: map of a person's awareness of life. To the extent a person is distracted by outer awareness (blaming others), to that extent a person is "unconscious" and without an inner life. If you realize the other person doesn't like you and has said something mean (because his parents didn't like him), you'll do fine. The other person is delusional. The other person learned anger is a solution to their problems. If you pretend the other person likes you, then you have to accept the insult, and in so doing, you hurt yourself. That's the pain you feel upon accepting an insult.
ACTUAL: map of a person's inner life. People are stuck in insults because they feel they have to be "good," that they can't talk back. Don't grapple with anyone, they tell themselves. Why respond at all? (1) You are changing the subject; (2) You are proving to yourself and the other person you heard what they said and you can stand up to it; (3) Your tone of voice conveys your true feelings on the matter.
PURPOSE: to neutralize insult by sending back a verbal symbol with a double message: "I see the insult," and "I see the entire situation." Correctly state the other person's position. Then they will implicitly allow you to: (1) Change the dynamics; (2) Ignore their implications; (3) Create a new framework of communication based upon sincerity, mutual trust, and the commonality of human experiences. Just give them enough time (two weeks) and space to grow or expand (alone).
