Many Annoyances
There are many things that annoy us in life. It is very
difficult to find someone in life who does not get annoyed at something or the
other.
What Annoys Us
Round 1
We may get annoyed with the humid weather, with the flies,
with mosquitos, with dogs barking at night, with the cat spewing up inside the house,
with computer being slow, with the car not starting, with the traffic lights, with the weeds
in the garden, with the wind, with the heat, etc.
In general, we can get certainly annoyed with elements totally outside of
ourselves.
Round 2
We may also get annoyed when someone chews with their mouth
open, or chews loudly, slurps soup, slurps hot tea, coughs, sneezes, drops things,
moves or fidgets a lot, eats non-stop, watches TV a lot, is on the computer a
lot, smells bad, has bad manners, talks loudly, goes to the toilet all the
time, breaks wind a lot, burps a lot, has bad breath, etc.
In general, we can and do get annoyed at the small details or
misgivings of human nature.
Round 3
We may get annoyed when people stare at us, we may also get
annoyed with people’s facial expressions, with people pushing-in in front of us,
with somebody who doesn’t hear what we are saying, with somebody who doesn’t
understand what we are saying, with someone who does not consider us and does not leave anything for us to eat, with someone who lives in a mess, has a stupid look on their
face, easily gets nervous, is scared all the time, bites their finger nails,
has their hands in their pockets, doesn’t help, repeats themselves, scratches a lot, is slow thinking and moving,
procrastinates, hesitates, with people who get annoyed, with people who are
angry, with people who are slow to understand, etc.
In general, we can get annoyed with the peculiar
psychological characteristics and habits of people.

Conclusion
So basically, we get annoyed one: with things outside of
ourselves, two: with the misgivings of human nature and three: with the psychological characteristics
of people.
In general, though, all of these things are neutral in nature, they are certainly not voluntarily directed personal attacks, however the way
we react to them most of the time is if they were.
Most of what annoys us are really very small in nature and there are really
too many things that annoy us. It is worth working on all of them to get rid of them so to live a more peaceful life.
Another reason why we should work on them is because our annoyances produce a very out of proportion reaction. This is because what annoys us is so quickly over and so insignificant, that it shouldn’t even be worth our attention but for some reason we give it way too much importance, which in the end only makes things worse for us, where we waste much time, energy and consciousness.

Observe that it is very difficult to get annoyed at the Being
or the Masters or anything spiritual. Mainly because annoyance only lives or
exists in matter.
