“Don’t pay attention to everything people say – you may hear someone insulting you.”
(Ecclesiastes 7:21)
Without judgment, repulsion or excuse, you gently detach from people who exhibit little concern for the pain they cause or the negative impact they have on their fellow humans.
You do not join in with those who belittle or diminish another’s worth.
You remove yourself from environments which are darkened by oppression, hate, disrespect, and intolerance. You do not allow yourself to be impacted by their insults. You choose to ignore their words so you don’t get caught up in defensive arguments or become ensnared by anger and resentment.
You realize these painful experiences often bring emotional results. You don’t understand why people are so awful to each other.
In quiet times, as you vent to God in sorrowful prayers, He hears and understands.
The demeaning and insulting expressions that offend you, are the same ones that offend Him too.
