I agree. I was also thinking about this today, after reading your post- by working with our "self" we have an opportunity to understand where irritability, impatience and frustration come from. If we've learned, and often lessons need repeated for many of us, we can navigate through "dark presences" with understanding. A devotee of God may even exude compassion when confronted by intolerance which has the ability to transcend energy. In either case, God is the best teacher and best suited to handle the individuals spiritual needs at any moment in time. 

So what are some things that cause these dark presences to find another's joy insufferable? It is unhappiness within. Contributing factors include... Excess media. Poor diet choices. Disconnect from nature. Excessive thoughts of self beyond basic needs. Stifling or suppression of ones personality. Lack of understanding.

We learn, as you've said in your initial post, that breaks or space allow new opportunities. Sometimes a simple change in routine allows opportunities otherwise unforeseeable. I've experienced this without having to walk away from challenging relationships. However, sometimes the best thing we can do is walk away which I've also experienced. We may eventually find peace and understanding towards those who've wished us harm or have disappeared. Without callous feeling, it may be that the "negativity" of another is actually meant to serve another person or that the landscape needed exploring. This could mean, from our overtly joyous state, we are incorrectly labeling another person as "negative" or even a "dark presence."

It is good to remember, there is no right or wrong in the grand scheme of things. In 3D in relation to the individuals journey- there is right and there is wrong. In God consciousness, in deep spiritual understanding ultimately- what one calls right is right and what one calls wrong is also right. Both people are right, even if they say the other is wrong. It was for them to do so in order to grow closer to God.

What I am trying to do, as a practice- is keep the beauty alive even for those who've created disturbances in my life. For the lovers who have left me without a sound- for the friends who've accosted me in their frustrations- for the coworkers and family whose actions I've found intolerable... I hold on to the memories where there was harmony- should these individuals ever resurface(in thought or in person) I wish to speak nicely about them and keep Love Alive. God will move me accordingly, based on my vibratory state. And I think- extracting the sweet from the sour may relieve the other person, even if we are not meant to be in each others lives. It does not mean I have forgotten the experience of "sour" or trying to force my way in that persons life-it only means that I recognize the lessons from our time together and keep my heart light when the energy creeps into my awareness.

Thank you for the introspection Brother.

Kind regards~
