  6. Skin
  7. Eyes, eyeglasses
  8. Ears, hearing
  9. Teeth or dentures

  17. Boss, subordinate or co-worker

Many of us have these problems. I do. You probably do.
All of us know or love someone who does.
What does this mean? It means that the things people do which hurt us may not be entirely under their control.
Understanding this will help us to control our own actions and attitudes when people hurt us.
