Insults can only hurt if you feel that they reveal some truth about yourself. The more you respond to insults the more you show your weaknesses.

The enemy is always waiting for us to react, and when we don't, he gets angry and is paralysed...

Insults, anger, envy..? Someone who carries those, and use it, how can he ever have peace, how can he ever love? What you have inside is what you give. When you have love inside, you give love. And yes..whatever you have to give if not accepted will stay with you, except for love...love will flow like a river.. love Agnieszka That’s a wise and …sad story at the same time.

When you have love inside, you give love.

And yes..whatever you have to give if not accepted will stay with you, except for love…love will flow like a river..

1. instead of insults alone, the chap decides to use a a whip or worse still maybe drives a daggar down the mastres throat.

2. he is like hitler, no use talking, just put a bullet.

cann’t say an unaccepted whiplash remains with the giver, or can we.
