The nicest person to have lived is said to be Jesus and look at how he was treated by some.
The world has a mixture of good and bad people and that must be maturely accepted. We know that they are there and the way to deal with them is for us to be more mature, understanding, wise and helpful – the people who can’t control themselves are often like children and they need help.

Of course they need help, look at the things they say about us behind our backs, look at how they treat other people. They need lots of help. Being an adult doesn’t make them mature, it just makes them physically larger.

Be strong and of good courage. Be firm and treat everyone as equals with your kindness and even to those who kick us, be nice to them. Smile,and be polite. If they need help then help them, even if they have hurt you bad – it is them that needs help and their hurting you has made you stronger and it puts you above their level of spiritual conscience because of what you have learned.
It is how we deal with failures and attacks that makes us better, stronger and more able to deal with such people again in the future. We gain as long as we don’t sulk, as long as we don’t get nasty, as long as we don’t attack back and want revenge. We have learned and we also know, the wise ones, that the answer to it all is love. Especially learning to re-love ourselves and forgive ourselves for our mistakes and forgiving ourself for ever blaming ourself for being taken advantage of.

Then we can forgive the mean people because it clears nasty attack-back feelings from our hearts and we can move on. If one sulks or has evil get-em-back feelings and thoughts then we have not let it go and we are trying to feast on revenge day-by-day until it destroys our lives – like that love will keep away because our closest friend will be hatreds.

Only learning and love are the real answers that will give us spiritual growth with understanding an being strong enough to avoid the same thing again in the future.
All the best from James M Sandbrook.
