Funtioning of insults

Wednesday, November 5, 2008

Right. Insult is an insult. And no, it can't be forgiven. Any kind of an insult is just some or the other form of "what the hell do you know?". And what do you think, what kind of people ask that question? Either the pseudo arrogant people or the really superior ones. Now the people who do know more, usually don't insult you. They scold you. So the arrogant ones do. If they aren't really better, and they're arrogant, that means that they are just resisting you for some of your own quality. So its just resistance.
Too complicated.
Well, we don't always have to respond to insults by insults. Its no use deteriorating ourselves. But that doesn't mean we have to stand it. We can act. Words are really worthless. People who disrespect don't really understand respect, not even their own. So you can't hurt them by insulting them.
Sometimes, an answer is not necessary at all. As Krishna says, don't get angry at the people who are provoking you to get angry. It works well. Somebody tries to hurt you, don't be hurt. People want attention, don't pay any. That is the way to deal with this kind of unnecessary non-sense. Indifference.
