How should I deal with a TOXIC Co-worker?

Hey guys

I got a new job and one of my new co-workers is seriously hateful. He talks a lot about how other people aren't good enough and sometimes talks of harming or killing certain kinds of people. The kind of speech that comes out of him is really hard to hear without it bearing down on your heart. I might imagine that a person like that holds a lot of sorrow in their heart...

My plan is to avoid contact as much as I can. I certainly won't entertain his terrible fantasies if he directs his conversation at me, but at the same time, I cannot change someone with that much anger. I doubt that I can get close to helping this person.

What would you recommend I do so that my practice resumes steadfast?
