evidence: Recently, I was on Pinterest (I admit I spend way too much time on there) and came across this quote from Warren Buffett, which has, in my opinion, a similar message. [...] Eleanor’s quote basically says that I will not let you make me feel bad just because you treated me like crap. Warren’s quote basically says that I will not lose control of my emotions just because of what you said to me. [...] So when the people around us are trying to make us feel inferior, to ridicule and insult us, do not react, but respond. Ask God for strength and courage to deal with these difficult people. Lastly, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Very few people actually intend to harm us. It is usually their carelessness and our immediate reactions that cause the most pain. Do not give others the power to feel superior over you. Do not give them your consent.
