If you know that someone is speaking

badly of you behind your back, and if

you react to that negativity with

a feeling of hurt, then you destroy

your own peace of mind. One’s pain is

one’s own creation. One should treat

such things as if they are wind behind

one’s ear. In other words, just brush

them aside. To a large extent whether

or not one suffers pain depends on how

one responds to a given situation. What

makes a difference is whether or not

one is too sensitive and takes

things too seriously.
