How can we love people who irritate us?
How to love people who irritate you? Don't pretend to love them; just understand that they're irritating you. Why are they irritating you? Simply because they are not the way you expect them to be; they're not the way you want them to be.
But in the same breath you also claim that you believe in God. If you believe in God, the person who irritates you also happens to be a creation of God, and he seems to be such a masterpiece that he can just irritate the hell out of you, isn't it? So don't deceive yourself. Just see, the irritation is happening because you have already decided what is right and what is wrong. You have decided that the way you see it is the right way to be.
If people are different from you, they will first irritate you. Then you will get angry; then you will hate them; then you will want to kill them. These are all natural processes. It happens simply because you are expecting everybody in the world to be like you. If everybody in the world were like you, could you be here? In your own home, if there was one more person like you, could you live in that house? Would it be possible?
It is very good that everybody in the world is the way they are. Any human being that you take from here out of this whole mass of people is absolutely unique, isn't it? The person who is sitting next to you right now, if you look at him, you will see that there is no other human being like him anywhere on this planet. There never was one and there never will be one such person. This is an absolutely unique human being. If you recognize that there is only one like this, that he is such precious material, how can he irritate you? And it is such a miracle for you that today you are sitting to this unique human being. If you see this, where is the question of irritation?
You are blind; that is why you are irritated. You're simply blind to life. You have not opened your eyes and looked at life. Otherwise, how can anybody irritate you?
