KNOW IN ADVANCE that people will respond to you in the most diverse ways, favorably, with hostility, indifferently, in every way. Do not be surprised or much affected. Take as much of it as you can with equanimity. Observe their antics with detachment. Observe as well your emotional responses.
Treat feelings and emotions as they arise as interesting objects of study. Holding them at mental arm's length, objectifying them, we lessen their grip on us.
