Some Zen Buddhists, when their buttons are pushed, tend to simply smile and retreat to a disinterested and detached perspective rather than deal with the hot-button issue. They use detachment as an avoidance instead of “leaning into the needles” to learn the why of it all. A fine resolution would be to examine our own hot buttons and work to understand why we react as we do. From there, we can address the root cause of our own suffering and be better able to help others.
Our buttons get pushed.
We react without thinking.
Ask, why so angry?
