Insults

Posted on June 7, 2012 by Emuna Daily

“When someone insults you, even for no good reason, do not automatically disregard what he says.  Rather, check yourself to see if there is any aspect of truth to what he said, regardless of his intention, and try to learn from it.” ~ R’ Simcha Zissel Ziv zt”l from Torah Tavlin

    “…regardless of his intention, and try to learn from it.” So beautiful and true! Another person’s intention really isn’t about us (it’s about what’s happening with them) – and our only responsibility is deciding how we want to receive the information…in a spirit of gratitude and openness, or another, less expansive way. Thanks for this reminder!
