You know what drives people crazy? Killing them with kindness. Case in point: recently [within the past six weeks] I had a student at the school where I taught try to get me fired. It resulted in a six-week unpaid leave while I was under investigation for making a "threat." [It wasn't a threat btw]. Anyway, initially I was suicidal, the thought of my storied teaching career going down in flames like planes on a flight deck. However, time ended up fixing this problem, and now the school district is desperate that they are losing a veteran math teacher over a lie. The rub? I left the vengeance to God, became baptized after 61 years, found a job teaching online that pays about the same. Here's the kindness part: law enforcement asked me during an interview if I wanted to go after this kid, and I said "no." The other students in the school are outraged and pissed that it went this far, and they want to tar and feather him, but no - he will get his just due. I was kind to everyone during this entire ordeal, and you know what? It pays. Don't lash out and be vindictive - President Trump is showing this through his actions. Quietly go about your business and be kind and respectful to your enemies. You'd be surprised how effective this is.
