Passive Aggressive Inspirational Quotes

Your life was meant for more than being a life-long doormat for deadbeats, losers, gossipers, nay-sayers, dream-crushers, energy vampires, users, abusers, ragers and passive-aggressive backstabbers.

I think one of the problems [with raising intelligent children in modern society] is compulsory schooling...and that children are sitting there, and they are taught and told what to believe; they are passive from the very beginning – and one must be very, very aggressive intellectually to have a high IQ [...] the child is taught. Right from the beginning, it's a passive process. He or she sits there, and they simply try to believe everything they're told?

Passivity is aggressively doing nothing and allowing life—or anything else—to do everything for you.

Eternity is long, so why would you live just once? How about you live as many times as you want so you can be absolutely sure you’ve squeezed every last drop out of such an experience? You’d try out primitive times and high-tech times; you’d be born into poverty and into splendor. You’d be male and female; left brained and right brained; tall and short; aggressive and passive; brilliant and naïve; emotional and stoic; and countless other polarities and combinations thereof! Then there’ll be all the choices of where you might live: which planet, which country, which culture. And in each life you’ll get to choose your parents, just as they will choose you, which friends from other lifetimes to play with again, and so on and so on. And everyone else is going to be in the same boat, wanting to come back again and again and again! Perfect! You’ll return with those you learned well with and you’ll avoid others. They’ll be doing the same. Come on, you have forever. Why not?

THE VICTIM AND THE PREDATOR The victim and predator act as the two basic archetypes of the ego. The victim represents the passive aspect, while the predator represents the aggressive side of human conditioning. Essentially, the movement of ego is various patterns of passive-aggressive behavior. It is the unconscious energy of passive-aggressive behavior that inspires the activities of worry, anticipation, and regret that also play out as responses of fight, flight, or freeze. Whether spending more time in one aspect or ping-ponging back and forth, the greater purpose of unconsciousness is to help build up emotional momentum to inspire an awakening of renewed perspective. While there are many paths and approaches to waking up from the incubation of ego, it is common when not rooted in the most heart-centered approach to transform the victim into a spiritual victim and exchange the predator for a spiritual predator. This is why it is so essential to always remember how everything is here to help you. When life is on your side, even when appearing as characters that seem to undermine your radiance and joy, you are able to be in communion with the choices always available to you that no person, place, or thing can ever take away.
