Watch difficult people like animals at a zoo, without judging them 🔭
Loud Lion
Even if a lion is loud, you don't get angry, right?
Quiet Gorilla
Even if a gorilla ignores you, you just think, "That's how this animal is."
Just Watch
With people too, if you watch without deciding good or bad, you can see how to deal with them.
⚡ TRY IT
Put on your zoo glasses
Tap the animals. Then switch the glasses and tap again.
"Good or bad?" glasses"Oh, so that's how they are" glasses
😠 Anger
Tap an animal 👆
💢 "So loud! How rude!"
💢 "Why is it ignoring me?!"
💢 "What a show-off!"
📝 Note: lions are loud. That's just a lion.
📝 Note: gorillas do their own thing. OK!
📝 Note: peacocks love to show off. Pretty!
🔭 Zoo master! No anger, just 3 notes.
rikai = understanding 🤝ikari = anger 💢
Read It Backward
Read "rikai" (understanding) backward, and you get "ikari" (anger).
Maybe we get angry because we don't understand.
📚 I learned this from the Japanese blog "Panda no Ondo".
