a bunch of nasty things, but I do not kick him out, do not fire him, then the
beast cannot do anything, because I did not react. That is, only by my reaction
in response to it, especially a negative one, do I untie its hands. And it is
exactly this that it waits for and wants. And it turns out that the beast wants
me to eventually stop giving the employee a chance, wants me to fire this
employee, wants me to punish or fine this employee, so that the beast has
a reason to do something foul in return later. But if I do nothing in return,
I do not react, then the beast cannot do anything either. It is as if it is only
waiting for me to give it this opportunity. This is another thing I noticed.
That is, perhaps I, well, personally, will not awaken the beast in this
employee anymore, since I realized how I used to awaken it, just by some
wrong words during a work discussion. That one needs to be even more
flexible and soft, so as not to hurt him and not to awaken the beast in him.
And maybe the beast will not wake up at all anymore, specifically from my
doing. But maybe there are some other situations that will open up for me
now. Maybe this beast will wake up in this person not through me, but from
something else, some external factor. And I will need to help this person again,
to get through to him, that is, to this employee, and tame this beast in him.
And to tame it only this way — only calm conversations and getting through
to the heart, only maximum spirituality and kindness. No condemnations,
no remarks, no grievances under any circumstances. That is, the thing you
must never say to a person possessed by the beast is that he is to blame for
everything. That is, you, clearly, you might know that it is his fault, that he
sinned, opened his heart to the beast, and now this beast is overcoming him.
And that yes, if he does not let this beast go, he is finished. But if you tell
him this, you only awaken the beast in him even more. There is no need to
say all this, all these frightening things, even if it is such an evil truth, such
a painful truth, even if it is the truth and you are speaking the truth after
all and not lying, but it is still considered that it turns out you are wrong
to speak to him this way. There is no need to tell him this. You need to
talk to him about how “Hey, man, everyone thinks I’m bad too. Don’t
be discouraged. why do you want to take everything now, let’s say, break
everything in your life and turn away from the path you are walking?
You had plans there, some goals. Remind me, what did you have there?”
