Don't let them get your goat! Acrylic on board 9.8"
Ever notice how some people like to intentionally aggravate? Like to get yer' goat? Just for the fun of it...
I get it - bugging, teasing.. (what ever you want to call it) once in a while, but every now you meet someone who seems to live to bother others & causes suffering for their own enjoyment. In the past, I'd let them get my goat, now I understand & know people 'like this' are not worth losing peace, instead look at them for 'who they are - sad, angry, vengeful humans who are not not happy or content so they intentionally add misery to others, often robbing themselves (& family) of peace in the process. That's a type of instant karma. Sooner or later they are seen for who they are. Give it to God.
The one that preserves their peace & is not nasty in return is the one who has power & control.
Instead of feeling negative towards others who behave badly - feel pity for them & pray for them or ignore them.
Weak people revenge. Strong people forgive. Intelligent people ignore. ~Albert Einstein.
Anyone I know who is creative, happy & content (& successful) hardly finds the time to socialize yet 'be intentionally mean & nasty to others. I've seen trolls on social media for example & I think - do they have nothing better to do, than make nasty comments... that's a dismal existence. It's the old adage: Misery loves company.
Surround yourself with people who lift you up, with words or actions, be it in person & on line. That's how you survive & thrive. By not letting nasty humans get your goat - you are getting theirs...
I was deliberating about someone in particular when painting this goat, from frustration to feeling compassion for them by the time I was done, praying they find peace so they can actually enjoy this beautiful life we have been gifted, every day. That's what painting is for me. Praying with paint, playing with goats with psilocybin for mental wellness & peace of mind.
Yay! Now I have another 'spinner to smile at and remind me: No one is worth getting my goat.
Don't let them get your goat & don't stoop to their level.... never forget God hears, God sees & God knows.
God says: Vengeance is mine. Leave it to God, it will not go unnoticed.

& if something is bound to 'get your goat' - let it be something like this (below) so we can all be better educated & prepared to correct such issues and bring people who lie & cause intentional suffering to light & punish them accordingly.
