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.
Cath-y, I wonder how much it matters to you that there is a god in charge, judgement and all that in terms of how you treat people. Do you think you'd give up your practical philosophy if you became disenchanted with the dogma? I don't think you would. Why would you?
