Cross

When someone gets cross with a friend or relative what they are doing is a bit of Pavlovian training (reference to Pavlov’s Dogs).

You can teach a dog to sit and lie and wait by getting cross with it (amongst other things), but you shouldn’t do it with people.

If you try this on people that you are supposed to love then you are really just treating them like dogs.

You might get your way, and your life might be a tad easier. But there is a lot to lose in this approach.

What you will find is the that obedient person has to kill something inside of themselves to quell the anger. And that thing is somewhere in the bit of the mind that allows them to love; to love you and to love themselves.
