Episode 175: The gift of your absence: The threshold of tolerance

It can happen that, in the course of our relationship, we find
ourselves the object of another person's disrespect or
negativity. The question that passes through most reasonable
people's minds is: "how much is enough?" I have a simple rule of
thumb to answer this question. I call it the "stranger on a bus"
rule. Basically, anyone in my life has to treat me at least as
well as they would treat a stranger on a bus. Otherwise, they're
subject to losing the privilege of my company.
