I agree more on the lines of βαθμιαίος. It was a tough lesson for me to learn too, but you can't show honest fourth chakra love without having a fully nourished third chakra. Personal power. Self-love. Yes, you don't want to fight negativity with negativity, but is a parent's discipline on their children a form of negativity? No. It may seem harsh and unfair to the kids, but the parents know what's best and they teach them that way out of love for them. There are always going to be people like that in the workplace, if you don't stick up for your own sense of belonging, then, well, you'll be weeded out. If people are getting on your case about something, and you're doing everything right, ask them what their problem is. What you could be doing differently. Defend yourself, and don't be afraid to speak your mind. Forgive them afterwards, and forgive yourself.
Like God never got angry.. if you believe in the Garden, we were kicked out, because we were given the knowledge of good and evil, and coupled with everlasting life, we would become like gods without the wisdom of knowing when to be good or evil. We had to be sent out into the world of illusion to learn for ourselves how to balance our hearts and our wisdom. You certainly have heart, sir, but wisdom says, "If you don't run your own life, somebody else will." "If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, you must accept the terms it offers you." "When a man points a finger at someone else, he should remember that four of his fingers are pointing at himself."
You probably were called to go to that job to realize how "real" and stressful the world can be, and since you, I don't want to say ran away, but decided pacifistically to take the risk of finding a job with a more peaceful environment, and it didn't work out the way you thought, then this is the lesson. You can either try to find another job, and, possibly, make less money or you can stand your ground and learn the lessons that come with defending your right to exist, in the workplace in this case.
I think this is the reason the STS route is open to the 5th chakra. There IS wisdom in defending your own sense of belonging, but they don't use the heart, which is why they lose in the unity game. Unity is the balance of knowing when to be good and "bad."
I strongly recommend reading up on the third chakra, and meditate on it. We all want, well, nearly all of us on this board, want to go into the world wearing our hearts on our sleeves, but if you don't love yourself enough to stick up for yourself.. it's hard to radiate the message that you really do love.
I hope this didn't seem too critical. I really mean to help, because I dealt with this lesson just last month, and when I realized what was missing, I worked to regain my confidence via the third chakra. When I did, I felt AMAZING. I honestly felt myself truly loving others around me, because you begin to radiate love, and people can sense that. You may find that when you achieve this, negativity will dissipate upon you. A powerful 3rd chakra is the foundation to the shield of love.
Much love.
Edit: In reading the post above, posture and good breathing comes naturally with a healthy third chakra. You can't fake compassion. If their negativity brings you down, you're not ready to be truly compassionate. You may think you are, but you'll know the difference once you're truly living with a heart chakra based upon the fully thriving yellow chakra.
