I'm apparently changing in The Kid Used To Dream

This week I have endured a disgruntled colleague use their keyboard to smear me. Any other time, I would have launched into them and burned them to no end. This time, I thought what if they are dealing with something I don’t know about. What if what they are doing is because they are hurting? I have learned that hurt people - hurt people. Humans act like wounded animals. They will attack when they they are hurting.

The more I thought about it. The less I wanted to engage. Seems like my silence may have made the situation worse. They doubled down and began trying to shame me thru social media. I’m still silent. This is not my problem.

Instead of being angry - I feel sorry for them.
