Lilya,
In my experiences where I have been wronged, I have found that although getting pissed-off at the person is a great and justified emotional release, it usually doesn't make the situation end in a desired manner. The expression of anger certainly makes the other person aware that they have wronged me in some manner but it often gives the other person a feeling of justification after the fact. Following her comment at the department store, I believe a shocked and hurt look without saying anything then looking away would have notified her that she wronged you and not given her any feelings of justification. She would have left feeling like a jerk, that is if she had a conscience.

This woman is clueless as to the impact of her actions, try to have pity on her. She's a self-centered idiot! Being civil with those people is so difficult.


Tammie,
I find it extremely hypocritical that many of those who preach tolerance, non-judgementalism, and forgiveness are the least of these. I completely quit going to church about a year ago because of it. That and promoting political views I don't believe in from the pulpit put and end to my fellowship. I still have faith in god but not in people.
