You're missing the point. This is about the Buddha not accepting the hate and thus not being frustrated over it.
No I get that. I’m just saying in a real life situation, the other guy might not give a damn about whether you accept his hate and let you have it anyways.
That doesn't matter, Buddha DGAF
I mean, there IS the story of Angulimala, a vicious murderer who had already slain 999 victims and was looking to make it a round thousand when he ran into the Buddha, but try as he might, he could not catch up to him, even though the Buddha was walking calmly.
So clearly, he does indeed NGAF because he is in possession of some mysterious force powers likely reserved only for the enlightened, but what is an average person to do in such a situation?
Laugh at their stupid anger? Fuck em dude, I do this shit regularly, it's not worth getting upset over. I work in IT, dealing with ignorant angry people daily.
You can win them over sometimes, but sometimes they're just an inconsolable asshole and that's really more of a them problem than a you problem.
