"Apparently, when you treat people the same way they treat you, they get offended." (Positive Outlooks)

...at least the immature people do...

Funny you saying that...

[med_cat]

Seen this happen recently, have you? ;)
I have certainly seen it happen in the past...

Haha - so true!

[med_cat]

Yup

Retaliation is itself a strategy of the immature.

[med_cat]

True...but to me, this wasn't even about the retaliation--this was more along the lines--someone snubs me, so, rather than get in a fight or argue with them about it, I keep silent and stay away--and they get offended.

[duathir.livejournal.com]

I understand.

And, yes, it is as you said about retaliation--"To refrain from imitation is the best revenge" (Marcus Aurelius)

[duathir.livejournal.com]

I have always admired Marcus Aurelius.

[med_cat]

He certainly was a remarkable man. I prefer Epictetus, though--less gloomy.
