Insults

Insults fall into three categories…

Those that are entirely unintended.

Those that are intended.

And those that are imagined.

In all cases they should be blithely  ignored because…

You have to forgive the unintended insults of others. It’s good karma because you yourself will undoubtedly do the same. However you can tell them, nicely, so there is learning.

It’s good practice to pretend that people that are prepared to intentionally offend you don’t actually exist. Eventually they will get the hint and cease to exist.

The imagined insults take more practice to ignore. People fill in the gaps of communications and often come up with the worst possible fillers. Try practising using the most optimistic fillers. Things get a lot easier at no real cost. There aren’t many free lunches in life, so grab this one.
