| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. In many ways I believe one of the |
| 0:10.6 | hardest challenges in life for us is when people are unkind to us. |
| 0:16.5 | We just don't know what to do. |
| 0:18.6 | It can be incredibly overwhelming, particularly if it's someone that we care for. |
| 0:23.0 | But even when a stranger is unkind towards us, |
| 0:26.0 | it's amazing how quickly our good day can become a very bad day. |
| 0:32.0 | And I think often there's a tendency when someone's being |
| 0:35.3 | unruly unkind towards us to do it back towards them in a sense an eye for an eye |
| 0:42.0 | you punched me metaphorically so now I'm going to punch you |

| 1:15.1 | calling each other's names and I wasn't sure if they were going to actually get into a |
| 1:18.4 | physical fight. But I gave him my tip and he immediately stopped, looked at me and said thank you. |
| 1:24.0 | And then he went back to screaming at this other guy again. |
| 1:26.8 | And this other guy was equally screaming at him. |
| 1:29.0 | It was a pretty intense situation. |
| 1:31.4 | But like I said, towards me, he was very polite, he was very kind, and he even gave me a big smile. |
| 1:37.0 | And I think we often see this a lot in our own lives. |
