@crcrt34: There are days when we encounter people who test our patience with the vilest words and the worst actions. In such moments, you feel that stifling the words within your chest is far easier than unleashing them, for you know that once a word is spoken, it is no longer yours. Harder than suppressing one's emotions is suppressing the urge to retaliate against an insult, choosing instead to respond with a silent smile or complete indifference. Silence in the face of the ignorant is a profitable investment that safeguards your heart’s energy and your inner peace. Do not soil your tongue with insults simply because someone else lacks the manners of civil discourse; a vessel inevitably spills what it holds, and your own purity shines through your refusal to stoop to their level. #fyyyypppppppppppppp
