When someone blames others for personal choices, when someone chooses to manipulate and deceive, when someone chooses to engage in acts of violence, you can no longer dismiss it in order to be nice or to keep the peace because tolerating and making allowances for someone's cruelty is to be complicit in it. Those that are in pain or in ignorance do not have an inherent right to inflict pain onto others either through words or deeds and must be deterred by firm boundaries on both personal and societal levels.
No more wishing the problem will go away or the person will change. People are taught how to treat you by showing them what you will and will not allow them to do to you. Set and keep the bar high. Anything or anyone that violates your integrity and well-being or brings harm to you or others on a spiritual, mental, emotional, or physical level must be met with a zero tolerance policy. While those who are unconscious can do much harm, be aware that empaths who do not know how to effectively maintain boundaries and process emotion in a conscious way can and do project their pain in sociopathic ways. Causing others to suffer because you suffer or using and abusing others because you believe you are superior to them is not acceptable in personal relationships or in a society. Have compassion for those who choose to do harm and demonstrate your unconditional love for them by accepting them as they are but also hold them accountable for their hurtful words and deeds. To not do so gives your power away to them and normalizes their behavior. While it is important to be kind and gentle to others, it is more important to be kind and gentle with yourself first. Remember that much of what others do and say now has nothing to do with you at all but also acknowledge there are consequences and karmic implications that must be and will be mete in order to honor the sacredness of life and for individuals and the collective to evolve. You can avoid contributing to the current toxicity in the collective by:
