To develop the practice of compassion to its fullest extent, one must practice patience. Irritating people provide us some of the best opportunities to practice patience, tolerance, and compassions.
The Buddha says: "Without an enemy you cannot practice tolerance, and without tolerance you cannot build a sound basis of compassion. So in order to practice compassion, you should have an enemy." THIS is why there are some many irritating people constantly clogging up my headlong pursuit of what I want. I supposed to LEARN from them.
I don't learn anything when I'm getting what I want.
