How to Deal With Haters, at Home, at School, or at Work, even on the Internet, by Adam Mizner

[@donrobinson2452]

The Buddha said that we are each given just exactly as many problems as we can handle but if you want more you can ask for them. Thanks for these kind words of understanding and tolerance. This is the hardest but ultimately the best way.

Peut on reprocher à un chat d'être un chat De son point de vue chaque personne a raison

[@MrCmon113]

That's an incredibly vile belief. It's the exact opposite of compassion.

[@daboodeef179]

you closed your eyes and were incredibly still then I realized that the video was paused haha

[@macrumpton]

I love your calming voice. Watching these videos I feel a change is starting in me, starting to see every obstacle and fear as a teacher pushing me closer to perfection. Perhaps I can someday even feel grateful for my trials, challenges, and annoyances. Thinking of that possibility fills me with joy.

[@HUEnshiro_do_Norte]

Independent of believing or not in Tai Chi, this video is a gem. Precious way of to deal with the difficulties of life.

Nicely put, acceptance is indeed the first step. Physically and mentally I find.

[@NoMoreFunland]

Very difficult but potent insights. Part of the ongoing process and still so painful. Maybe things don’t get easier though we get better at facing and accepting the flow of these lessons. Thanks for sharing Adam.

[@ZalMoxis]

It's pretty easy Adam.... fuggem all... my master says if the fools aren't laughing at you ... you're doing it wrong....

[@blockmasterscott]

I learned about haters big time about three years ago when someone with about three months of martial arts training, that’s right, three months used to laugh at me when he found out that I had taken three decades of traditional Chinese martial arts. Used to laugh and say it’s useless and he could beat me up anytime. I thought about it and just let it bounce off of me. Kinda coincides with your “the buck stops here”.

[@scaryhenski]

So did you challenge him???

[@blockmasterscott]

@@scaryhenski I just ignored him. Was not worth my time.

[@scaryhenski]

@@blockmasterscott Why didn’t you challenge him, I mean why didn’t you just have a friendly sparring session with him to prove your chi power works????

[@blockmasterscott]

@@scaryhenski Chi power? There is no such thing as chi power. Chi is nothing more than using proper breathing to apply power. For example, a master carpenter that hits a nail only once to hammer a nail all the way down is using chi, which is focusing breathing to apply force. A highly trained boxer uses chi, they just use American terminology like "focus your breathing!" That's all it is. I'm not gonna challenge every Tom, Dick, and Harry that wants to heckle me. That would be just stupid.

[@scaryhenski]

@@blockmasterscott I understand that but 99.9% of Tai chi masters like Adam love to claim that their techniques will work against boxers and wrestlers yet they don’t want to accept the challenge when it is presented to them.

[@stefanbacha9194]

Bro you are chill as all can be😊 Exactly true, Haters have issues. It's not the best thing to going around criticizing, rather to observe within for likes or dislikes.

[@MrCmon113]

So you would walk straight by a rape happening and simply observe your inner state instead of helping. This attitude is really everything wrong with most people's idea of spirituality. Insights into the mind should motivate you to help MORE not less.

Very impressed - and moved - by the calm you radiate - Even though being a wonderful master you reached an other level here

[@Manga_Lloyd]

I'm a practitioner too, and in my experience the haters are simply people who do not believe or understand. I prefer to use their ignorance as a teachable moment in which I can explain or demonstrate the effectiveness of the techniques. It doesn't always work, because some people really do just want to choose to hate, but I would never recommend ignoring someone completely when you are confident in your skills and teaching ability.

[@scaryhenski]

It doesn’t work because it is not meant to work.

[@Manga_Lloyd]

@@scaryhenski what do you mean?

[@scaryhenski]

@@Manga_Lloyd it doesn’t work in an actual fight

[@MrCmon113]

>It doesn't always work, because some people really do just want to choose to hate If it only works if someone cooperates, it doesn't work.

[@Manga_Lloyd]

@MrCmon113 Yeah, this is complete bullshit. I wrote that initial comment to see if this guy was as spineless and fake as I first thought. Turns out he is.

[@symbolsarenotreality4595]

One must take care not to make 'binary to binary conflation fallacies'. The strategy for dealing with this is fractal polarisation. That is the realisation that one set of opposites does not equal another, otherwise they would be the same set, but instead to realise that all polarities can be embeded within another based upon the context of application. For example good/evil does not equal freedom/control respectively. Both freedom and control can contain the polarites of good and evil. There are good freedoms and bad freedoms. But freedom itself is not good or bad on its own, it is an abstract relative concept. Likewise there is good control and bad control but control itself is neither good or bad, it all depends on the context of application.

[@bastiat6865]

Indeed. Many things simply *are*. Intention can organize a thing to a polarity.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son as a sacrifice for all the evil of this world. What kind of God is this? Love, yes Sifu it's all about love.

[@dhammaboy1203]

Very helpful - I still get caught on this all the time - it links into childhood conditioning (which is just a story but can sometime’s useful to trace our reactions back). I really enjoyed your Guru Viking interview - so many thing you said I resonate with! Also - I was smiling a lot as yes - the interview will trigger people! But I really enjoy your maverick and early Buddhist approach (in itself a matter of academic debate but I loosely mean what the records show the historic Buddha says in the Suttas). Are you a fellow Aussie? You sound Australian?

[@shorinryu9713]

Sifu, do you believe in 'evil eye' and its existence? If so, how does one ward it off or block it in its tracks? Love to hear your thoughts please 🙏🏼

[@amanbridgefield9208]

Great

[@symbolsarenotreality4595]

It is not moral and rational to mistake the binary of ignorance/awareness for evil/good respectively. Most often people are not intentionally evil they are simply ignorant, raised in a society/family etc that teaches them false ideas. The solution in this regard is both individual and societal. A person who embraces evil with awareness is not ignorant of what they are doing. It could be argued at a previous level in the self creation of such a person however there was some form of ignorance, delusion etc that led to the choice to embrace evil in full awareness of its nature. Mapping these polarities, their changes, their embedding in one onther is much like the yin-yang separation in chen style tai chi

[@dingosmith9932]

In the words of Sifu Ian Sinclair ... "Very good, more practice!"

[@MrDeagles8]

Big time Hater!

[@symbolsarenotreality4595]

It is moral and rational to hate evil and love good. But how one expresses this is also another aspect that can be evil or good in itself. Intention and action. What is the difference between acting in the theatrical sense and action? Intention. For me my challenge is in my expression generally where even if I am right about something I may not express this in a respectful manner thus compounding the situation with unneccesary provocation and conflict.

[@symbolsarenotreality4595]

Especialy when I am disgreeing with someone about a fundamental moral issue, then it is most challenging to respect that person. When immorality/ammorality stems from ignorance, respect must be given but when it is intentionally chosen it is foolish to respect someone who wiil not respect in return as they will take any opportunity to use your respect to betray you, even if at some point in time their choice to not be moral was based on delusion/ignorance. When someone becomes a danger to themselves or others it is the responsibility of the community to find a solution. For a person to change however requires total self honesty and the intention to change.
