Sometimes, the right words are better than any advice you could give! I know there are friends who NEED to hear this today.....{hugs} When people insult you, don't take offense, don't take it personally, but DO listen to their words. They are telling you how THEY see the world, they are telling you the exact negative qualities that THEY themselves possess. "The Law of Mirrors" states that one can really only see what is in them, regardless if it is what is actually present in reality or not. Release the need to try to defend or try to explain to them that your not being whatever nasty insult they have thrown at you, but evaluate instead all of these insults and realize that this is WHO they ARE. Then, decide if a person with those qualities are one you would like in your life or not. Walk towards the sunshine and leave the rain behind!
