There is an old American saying: “Never wrestle with a pig, you just get dirty, and the pig enjoys it.” You know exactly who this refers to, don’t you? That person who pushes your buttons every fucking time! They say something, and you respond, and it goes back and forth. You got poked and stepped right into the shit. Almost feels intentional. No matter how far you’ve come or how good you’ve been in the last few years, this person (pig) always sets you up to get all fucking dirty. This is the nature of the pig. They love to get dirty and don’t care if it’s you or someone else. It really isn’t about you. You know who they are in your heart, but you keep walking into it for whatever reason. Maybe it’s time to distance yourself from the pig pen.

Reflections

If this happens with someone in your life, ask yourself why it happens. What does this person get out of this interaction with you? What do you get from this interaction with them?

Daily Challenge

Stop the madness. If you don’t have to talk to this person, don’t. If you have to speak to this person, keep it to a minimum. This may be hard, but it will be worth not having to clean up the dirt all the time.
