It's exactly as you describe it. At first, it's shocking, because it seems like they're telling you to be passive or let people disrespect you. But you get it when you understand the true meaning: that what others say or do is a projection of their own reality, of their “movie,” and it almost never has anything to do with you. Understanding that frees you from a huge burden. Your reflection on how this applies to social media is spot on. Nowadays, it seems like everyone is on the defensive. This agreement is the perfect antidote to all that noise and negativity.

In short, a much-needed reflection. This book is one of those that you have to reread from time to time so that we don't forget these simple but powerful truths. Thank you for sharing your point of view.
