God said:
Yes, there are people who are like snapping turtles. And people in such turmoil sometimes pop up in your Life, and, sometimes, as the expression goes -- when you least expect it.
In theory, you understand, that this is about the state snapping turtles are in. You are not the cause of their snapping. No matter what they and others may think, you are not responsible, yet someone may hold you responsible, and you may hold yourself responsible.
Let yourself off the hook. You are not the cause. Snapping turtles may perceive you as the cause. Their perception is the cause. I speak of other human beings who try to find excuses to live the life of a snapping turtle.
That someone is troubled and troubled apparently by you, this is not your doing – unless you happen to mean to trouble them.
Your task is not to be laden by others’ annoyance. Their annoyance is not for you to carry. Their annoyance is for you to drop, just as you might let a book fall to the floor when you turn off the light at night and go to sleep. Just as when you are finished with a book, now, just so, put down your grievance and be done with it.
Go about your day. Go about what is before you to do in Life. This is your Life We are talking about.
If you can be smart when it comes to reading books, so can you be smart when reading people who may be cross and snap at you. Your Life isn't to be ruled by anyone's irritation, nor is your Life to be ruled by your irritation.
Dear Ones, the Rule of Thumb of Life is to come back to Love.
