James, can you elaborate on the why of giving the crappy co-worker credit for work they did?

Thank you

While I agree ones own sanity is most important, don’t you feel that by ignoring the problem it only grows? This seems to happen all the time. While things can’t change overnight, one person, one day at a time there is a possibility that life can be better in the future (i have seen this happen around me, slowly). And doesnt that make us the “Good” person? I know it’s a hard pill to swallow for many (and you can look like an ass when doing it), but in the end there can be some self realization (sometimes for both sides).

Giving up on (ignoring) fellow humans seems fatalistic and defeatist.

Non-hate is very hard. But its easier than compassion, which I think is not only hard but dangerous for the person attempting to practice it in these situations. Hate is too powerful to be fought with the tools of compassions. It will destroy you.

But non-hate is also hard. the only thing here is: its a must to move forward.

Wow, thank you so much Renee. And I agree with you about the internet being quite a teacher.

I just thought of another question. I know how I would answer it but I wonder how you would answer it, James. The question is, “Should I ever try to make the crappy person like me and hence not be crappy to me? Can that ever work or am I always better off trying not to engage them?”
