Up to a point yes, everybody has some character flaw, and yes that flaw will be exploited. That said you get those that cannot control aggression for example. Thus people see them as trouble makers or even say "they have a bad attitude" because aggression is easily connected to one's attitude.
However "speaking only from personal experience" aggression is probably one of the more difficult emotional factors to control because it is so very easy to lose oneself and basically just see red. It takes years to get under control. But that is not to say the person has a bad attitude rather a more severe character flaw.peace is a state of mind

@ tec ........ reading into your posts from the other thread and this one - that you have had a bit of a "run" in with either an empoyer or someone and you "lost" it ........... thereby the aggression from "your personal experience". I think you are the one that needs to "control" it boet !! I'm sure as you get older the control will happen more naturally and you will perhaps see things in a different light !
My wife in her business has come across a lot of people ... perhaps like you, perhaps not, who think that the world "owes" them - unfortunately all of them are the same ..... they get no-where - they dont get past the first interview stage - sometimes they dont even get to the first interview !Comment

That wasn't really my intend or motive for using anger as an example. I used anger as an example for all of us or most would have some experience thus allowing to relate. To make a logical or causal connection thus allowing for insight.
I believe everyone had the odd word to say in a traffic-jam or perhaps when dealing with someone at the municipality and or bank. That said, people will judge, one will not be able to change their minds and or perspectives regardless of right or wrong.
it is just human nature I guess.peace is a state of mind

I really didn't want to post something like this, that said the attacks I had to date justifies me asking you; Do you have a problem with me? Maybe you are too big a man to not accept apologies?
Clearly you wish to continue this behaviour but it would be an reflection on you. I believe it was adrianh "when I considered him to be a friend" he told me once; (If you walk past a barking dog it says everything about the dog and nothing about the person) It is not the exact sentence but it will do.
I am sorry but these attacks will not do.
However that said I will give you your victory.
I just wonder who is next?

Our self-esteem is sometimes our own downfall. We may think that people perceive us or judge us in a certain way, when in reality we may not even be noticed at all. A poor self image or over confidence may have the same negative outcomes.
This reminds me of the joke about the rep who had a flat tyre way out in the boendoe. He realised that he did not have a jack or tools to change the tyre. As it was late at night, the chances of someone passing was remote.
He saw a light in the distance and decided that it must be a farm and he should go there to ask the farmer for help. On the way there he said to himself that farmers go to bed early. So this farmer will not be very happy to be woken in the middle of the night. He may also be mistaken for a burglar and may get shot at.
As these thoughts milled in his head, the problem got bigger and the farmer got meaner. So by the time the rep eventually reached the farmhouse, he was very worked up and nervous, but knocked on the door never the less.
As the farmer opened the door, he let go and shouted;" You can take your #@&! jack and your &%#$@ whell spanner and shove it up your @#$!& !!!!Excellence is not a skill; its an attitude...Comment

No need, you made up your mind, as did I. Talk about growing up, humility is also one of life's lessons. Sometimes being humble is a good way to go.
