Avoiding life's little lessons

Tweet

I heard of this happening in spiritual circles but I had trouble believing it. It is when a person needs to be taught a lesson, a teacher will come. So I was waiting for the light rail and while it was pulling up one of those "entertainers" came by. I wasn't in the mood so I went to the first car, expecting him to go into the second car. No such luck. He comes on the first car and with all the seats that are available he sits right in front of me. Then he proceeds to rap the most vile and violent lyrics imaginable. I had just come from a meditation group, and I told the story how I handle the modern gum poppers that are also irritating, but I found a way around it. You see, objects occupy a space, and you can meditate on the so ace an object occupies. Sounds are the same way - sounds are actually objects that occupy the so ace of silence. All sounds have the "space," silence, that it also occupies, and I am usually able to focus on that. With this guy I was probably one third successful. OK lesson learned. Now go away. And he did eventually. Anyone want to share a lesson?
