Delete

I had to delete the entire post.  I once had a faculty member who would complain about her life every day to her students.  Her students came to me.  I had to do something, so I called her in.  

"You can't do that," I said.  "There is nothing they can do to help you except feel badly.  You should not be there for that." 

You are not a captive audience, and of course you can simply leave.  You have options.  There was no art in my complaint, so. . . 

Delete.  Delete.  Delete.  

I am not a good Buddhist.  I must try harder.
