Note:
Having come to some level of ability to be in the midst of chaotic environments and center, I begin to feel as though chaotic and peaceful environments are much the same, with the larger part of what qualifies as 'distractions' being the internal pointings and dialogs, the level of which isn't really affected by what is going on 'around'.
Got angry at someone the other day and made strange faces at them behind their back. It was so childish, and I really surprised myself that my responses can so quickly deteriorate. :) Then again, maybe silly faces that made me smile and never affected the other person at all was a better way of dealing with the emotion than some others I might have chosen.
