It's funny to re-read that. When it was first posted, I was a bit skeptical of the idea that the annoyances we find in others are rooted in the annoyances we find in ourselves.
But now as I read it again, I think there's a lot of truth to it. Not too long ago I had a few weeks of very little sleep. I became grumpy and found lots of people annoying. I noticed that those annoyances were really rooted in myself. Lack of sleep really magnified the effect. |
