Dealing with Insult

 

Bagaimana Mengatasi Penghinaan

 

Seorang bijak menerangkan bagaimana mengatasi penghinaan dan memelihara belas kasihan.

Pada suatu hari seorang bijak sedang berjalan melalui sebuah desa. Seorang anak muda yang kasar dan berangasan datang dan mulai menghina dia. "Engkau tidak punya hak untuk mengajar orang lain," teriaknya. "Engkau tolol seperti orang lain. Engkau pembohong!"

 

Orang bijak itu tidak marah karena penghinaan itu. Sebagai tanggapannya ia bertanya kepada anak muda itu, "Katakan kepada saya, apabila engkau membeli kado untuk seseorang, dan orang itu tidak mau menerimanya, kado itu milik siapa?"

 

Anak muda itu heran mendengar pertanyaan itu dan menjawab, "Tentu saja kado itu masih milik saya, karena sayalah yang membelinya."

Orang bijak itu tersenyum dan berkata, "Tepat sekali. Begitu juga dengan kemarahanmu. Jika engkau marah kepada saya dan saya tidak terhina, maka kemarahan itu kembali kepadamu. Engkaulah orang yang tidak berbahagia, bukan saya. Apa yang telah engkau lakukan hanya menyakitkan dirimu sendiri."

DEALING with INSULT? 

A wise man explained how to handle insult and maintain compassion.
One day a wise man was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."
 

The wise man was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."

The wise man smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

"If you want to stop hurting yourself, you must get rid of your anger and become loving instead. When you hate others, you yourself become unhappy. But when you love others, everyone is happy......"

Beautiful Quote on Anger

If you are right then there is no need to get angry

And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.

Patience with family is love, 

Patience with others is respect, 

Patience with self is confidence

 

Never think hard about PAST, It brings tears...

Don't think more about FUTURE, It brings fears...

Live this Moment with a Smile, It brings cheers !!!

 

Every test in our life makes us bitter or better, 

Every problem comes to make us or break us, 

Choice is ours whether we become victim or victorious !!! 

Search a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.

Beautiful things are not always good but good things are always beautiful
