Do you apologize for being a loser? Do you buy him a steak dinner? Do you agree with his insults about you to show that you are an agreeable person?
Heh heh
I just try to continue to treat them with kindness and respect. Doesn't mean I have to agree with them, or apologize if I did nothing wrong, or buy them anything. I just don't insult them back, and continue to treat them well.
Btw, I fail miserably at this plenty of times. Above is just what I believe I should try to do, not how I always act, unfortunately.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
