Acquiescence

The other day, at one of my places of business, I found myself pinned in a corner by an aggressive patient. In those tense moments, I readied myself for the worst. I just knew I was going to be attacked, so I braced for it mentally. Amongst the adrenaline and fear, a sliver of calm was cradled. That bit of calm was acceptance. Acceptance that, in that moment, I had no way to control the outcome of the situation.  Acceptance that what was about to occur was just going to happen. Irony that now I face the same feelings and thoughts over an emotional issue within my relationship. This is apparently quite likely to happen. This is likely to happen with someone I find utterly distasteful.
