Dear Magdalene,
There are some ugly people out there. I'm not talking about the deformed or crippled. I'm talking about those who are so internally pained and torn that they are ugly. They let their biases, criticisms, and unkindness deform them, to where they are abrasive, rude, and mean, no matter what circumstances come their way.
One suggestion. Cast out the devil in them, and leave.
I have learned that when you try to fight the devil, you typically lose. But it takes two to fight, and asking your Savior to step in and do the battle is the only way to come out alive. Don't even try it alone. Let beauty overcome the ugly, and know that beauty comes from a connection to God.
When you feel like you can't do it alone, pray. If you feel like you're not reaching heaven, pray harder. Pray until you connect, and if you don't, keep praying. Pray to come off conquerer, and pray to win the "battle". It is a battle. It is real, and if you wonder why sometimes working with some people leaves you shaking, realize that you have just met a devil, or a human possessed with one (or many). Cast them out, leave them be, and then pray for protection. They are real, and so is God. He is more powerful than all of them, and refusing to be contentious is the first step in overcoming.
Love you baby,
