Ignore the Tone - (5741)

It is good training when working on the ego in us to pay attention to what is said. Listen carefully to the content.

The content is often all ok. No problems, no reaction on our part.

But the tone often is the one that irritates us.

That is the training right there - to not identify for a second with the tone. 

If we focus on the content, forgetting the tone, while we are working to dissolve the "I" that reacts, our work will be easier because we won't strengthen the "I" we are trying to dissolve.
