When people speak badly of you, you should respond in this way: Keep a steady heart and don’t reply with harsh words. Practice letting go of resentment and accepting that the other’s hostility is the spur to your understanding. Be kind, adopt a generous standpoint, treat your enemy as a friend, and suffuse all your world with affectionate thoughts, far-reaching and widespread, limitless and free from hate. In this state you should try to remain.

or as the Power Puff Girls would say:
you can’t hurt me with the things that you do,
I pick a dandelion and I give it to you…

I always thought that that was a shining moment for Ms. Bubbles when she sang that. But, yes, I would fully agree that when someone brings a fight to you, the last thing you want to do is make it worse by wigging out. That Dhammapada knew what he was talking about.

you said it!!
Soooo.. that means, F***Off is out of the question?? Darn.
oh no, of course not…but you can kick in their brain buckets till their eyes turn to X’s. WOOOOOOOOOOOSH.
did I say that out loud…?
Open your ears and listen what the world has to say, hear the birds and bells and you’ll have a brighter day. Everyone has a special side, deep inside their heart if you want you can sing with us, thats the perfect place to start.
so i guess saying “fucking cunt” over and over again at the evil pta mom’s ahead of me in line at the science center yesterday would NOT be the way to enlightenment, right? dang.
I must agree with whateva … sometimes a stern Phuck Off works wonders and makes you feel better at the same time so … how can it be wrong? lol
hee hee I LOVE that power puff girls’ song. its so great. perfect.
it’s so hard to let that shit go, though. damn.
500 props even if you don’t want them.
I’ll say this, there are a lot of people walking this Earth because I don’t own a gun.

yeah yeah, enlightenment. that’s nice and all, but does nirvana really feel as groovy as bitch-slapping some cunt upside the head? i doubt it.
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
