Pretend you're holding onto a mirror and you walk around with that mirror in front of you every single day of your life.
When people are in pain and they throw it at you, what does it do to your mirror? Do you let that person's pain distort the image in your mirror?
The other person has the same mirror you do. We're all born with the same mirror. Because of the pain, their mirror is distorted. They go look for people who have similarly distorted mirrors. Pain creates pain. Pain wants to see pain. Pain reflects pain back.
When you refuse to distort your mirror based on what other people throw at you, you can maintain your own internal well-being. What will happen is that the people throwing pain around will leave on their own because you're no longer playing.
When you defend yourself, engage in the argument, and throw pain back the person stays because those things cause you to distort your own mirror. It creates a similar reflection to their own and that keeps them in the relationship.
When you do nothing your mirror doesn't distort. It stays true. Quite honestly, to somebody that's in pain, a non-distorted mirror is boring. They'll go find something else to do.
Yes, their behavior may get worse for a little while but eventually they will leave because they aren't getting back what they expect to see and they don't like it. It creates a natural boundary and that doesn't require you to decide what to do with the relationship. The relationship will then take care of itself.
When you refuse to allow your mirror to warp based on what you see around you, it creates a natural boundary that protects you. Your ego doesn't need to do that work anymore. The only reason your ego does that work is because you continue to allow your mirror to distort itself based on the outside world. You continue to engage in the argument and that's what distorts your mirror.
You will stop attracting pain when you stop distorting the image in your own mirror based on what you see around you.
The image you see in your mirror is entirely up to you. That's the funny thing about the mirror, its image is under your control. You decide whether to distort it or not. Nobody else can do it for you.
Love to all.

I have a minor gripe with modern video apps (#videoblogging, #videoconferencing, #videochat… basically every app where the user has a camera pointed at themselves, and the app renders a preview of the camera's perspective).
I've been using #webcams since the 640x480 days, and the early implementations were all set up very intuitively. The preview would always show a #MirrorImage of the camera's input, while the actual video, whether it was recorded, broadcast, or whatever, was left unmodified. This was great!
But sometime in the last decade or so, all the video apps started doing this annoying thing where they give the user an option to toggle the #mirroring effect, but that's exactly the problem – they treat it like any other effect! When you turn mirroring on, it's on for both your own preview AND for the actual video, and vice versa.
Why on earth did they do this? When I'm on a video call, I want my preview to be mirrored, but I want everyone else to see the unmodified video!
