The earthquake of discomfort you feel moving inside of you when someone insults you is your own insecurity.
A great deal of defensiveness stems from the need to be right and frustration over not being able to control.
The best practice is to be around people who absolutely disagree. Grace in conflict is a study in love.
You can get to a place where you see clearly; that place is zero defensiveness.
The conflicts we have with the outside world are often conflicts we have within ourselves.
If you do not like a certain behavior in others, look within yourself to find the roots of what discomforts you.
Any defensiveness is a sign of failure. You can't move forward if you are defensive.
When we are easily upset it is because we are internally unstable and unrefined spiritually.
Being insulted offers you an opportunity to practice decency and having a non-response internally.
Every insult is an opportunity.
