    You can’t control what or how others treat you, but you can control yourself how to respond. Toxic people are not worth for your words, walk away or ignore them. Your silence is the best answer to them.

      Forgive me for sharing this view please, because I feel, so many of us know these truths from Buddha teachings, but we overlook to acknowledge 🙏
      Whatever that happens outside of us, is what's within us, it's universal law to reflect what we may feel we have healed, but if any not so good behaviours show up, it's like a check up to remind us and envisage our reaction to give clarification if we have healed or still need to work on healing.
      I hope I make sense please 🙏 I feel, it is for us to thank the energies of the person who have behaved in a not so good manner so that globally we can vibrate to heal those energies in them too, so they don't have to behave in such ways to hurt others, but also heal the ones who are affected as pain is just a part of a thought that looks in the perceptions of each's own experiences.
      Thank you 🙏

      Somehow I don't understand this point of view. We can control how ppl treat us. When unjust or toxic ppl are treated assertively, they will stop treating us like like that or be more cautious. Some sick ppl need to be ignored, but most will respond to assertiveness.

      @@jasminesarahalexander the point here is you want to live in peace and happy and not to lower yourself to the same level of toxic or bad people treated you. Bad people do bad things to you doesn’t mean you do bad things back to them. They don’t deserve your words or time, walk away is best solution. By the way, control yourself is already difficult, it’s impossible to control others. May you live in peace and happy!

      ​@@shreyasreenath9197 "what if we r not intelligent or smart enough to be successful in life"
      Then you need to redefine the definition of success. And also you need to realize concept called "External reference locus of control" where herd mentality, or groupthink is forcing you to believe what is success.
      The world is full of paradoxes, biases, double binding which means there is no absolute truth unless unkind or violent - there is no generally accepted truth.
      If you allow other people to define truth for you - you will lose your self worth, you will lose your identity and you will develop toxic shame and mental instability - since society will give you contradictory messages how to manage, handle and make decisions in life.
      Remember the donkey story - where other citizens condemn and criticize man and woman riding the donkey. Whatever they do with the donkey: ride on it, walk by it, carry it - there will always be criticism and mocking and dissatisfaction coming from other people.
      Being kind and treating people with respect even when they do not deserve it, does not take much IQ, and that is successful in itself.

      @@shreyasreenath9197 Yeah, when you understand this, it will make earthquake shifts inside ourselves. For starters, we will become aware how many toxic people we attracted in our lives, it will be like awakening from coma or hypnosis, and - natural consequence will be cutting contact with many of them. This also include making new contacts or reinforcing old ones, which are more healthier.
      Up next are toxic habits.
      And it will be coming up with new radical ideas which may entail many changes - for the better. This is what will happen when our self worth is inside us and we are focused on it as oppose to other people's opinions and orders and criticism.

      @@sakshibagga3771 it’s hard, so hard, but not impossible. The more you practice, the easier it will get. Don’t beat yourself up for slipping up, just commit to trying again the next time. Something that helped me was asking myself if I wanted this person to have power over me, because when someone gets a reaction out of you, that is their power over you. Nobody treating you poorly should get that power. Besides, what they want is to get a rise out of you, so by not reacting or by walking away, you completely remove their power over you, you deny them what they want, and, most importantly, you are protecting your peace. ❤️‍🩹 You got this!

      Dukkha, Samudaya, Nirodha & Marga.
      The Four Noble Truths
      They are the truth of suffering, the truth of the cause of suffering, the truth of the end of suffering, and the truth of the path that leads to the end of suffering. More simply put, suffering exists; it has a cause; it has an end; and it has a cause to bring about its end.

      @KGB1776 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@elizabethvarghese5511 The Four Noble Truths are central teachings in Buddhism that outline the nature of suffering and the path to its cessation. They were the first teachings given by the Buddha after his enlightenment.
      1. Dukkha: The Truth of Suffering
      - **Understanding Dukkha**: The first noble truth is often summarized as "life is suffering," but this is an oversimplification. Dukkha encompasses not only overt suffering like pain and sorrow but also a more subtle dissatisfaction that pervades all forms of life due to impermanence. Even joy and happiness are seen as dukkha because they are impermanent and eventually lead to suffering when they cease.
      - **Types of Dukkha**: Traditionally, dukkha is categorized into three types:
      1. **Dukkha-dukkha**: The suffering of suffering. This refers to obvious suffering and pain.
      2. **Viparinama-dukkha**: The suffering of change. This refers to the suffering caused by the change, such as the loss of loved ones or the end of pleasure.
      3. **Sankhara-dukkha**: The suffering of conditioning. This is a more subtle form of suffering that arises from our mental formations and attachments, even in the absence of overt pain or change.
      ### 2. Samudaya: The Truth of the Cause of Suffering
      - **The Role of Desire**: The second truth identifies desire or craving as the root cause of suffering. This includes not just desires for pleasure but also the desire for existence or non-existence.
      - **Three Types of Desire**:
      1. **Kama-tanha**: Craving for sensual pleasures.
      2. **Bhava-tanha**: Craving for existence, or becoming.
      3. **Vibhava-tanha**: Craving for non-existence, or cessation.
      ### 3. Nirodha: The Truth of the Cessation of Suffering
      - **Achieving Nirvana**: The cessation of suffering is achieved by extinguishing tanha (craving). Nirvana, the ultimate goal of Buddhism, is a state of liberation and freedom from suffering. It's described as a state of peace and release where there is no more craving, aversion, or delusion.
      ### 4. Magga: The Truth of the Path to the Cessation of Suffering
      - **The Noble Eightfold Path**: This is the practical guideline to ethical and mental development with the goal of freeing the individual from attachments and delusions; it leads to understanding the truth of all things. It is often divided into three core sections:
      1. **Wisdom (Panna)**:
      - Right View: Understanding the Four Noble Truths.
      - Right Intention: Commitment to ethical and mental self-improvement.
      2. **Ethical Conduct (Sila)**:
      - Right Speech: Speaking truthfully and kindly.
      - Right Action: Acting in non-harmful ways.
      - Right Livelihood: A non-harmful occupation.
      3. **Mental Discipline (Samadhi)**:
      - Right Effort: Cultivating positive states of mind.
      - Right Mindfulness: Being aware and mindful of thoughts, feelings, and actions.
      - Right Concentration: Developing deep concentration through meditation.
      ### Practical Application
      To apply these truths in one's life, one begins with understanding and accepting the reality of suffering and its cause. Practicing mindfulness and meditation helps in observing one's mind and reducing attachments and aversions. Ethical living strengthens this practice by minimizing harm to oneself and others, creating a supportive environment for spiritual growth.
      The Eightfold Path is not necessarily sequential; it's a holistic practice where progress in one area can support growth in others. By walking this path, one gradually uproots the causes of suffering, leading to greater peace, liberation, and enlightenment.

    Just like it’s my job and responsibility for all of them ..
    I live my family a lot but they treat me like dirt and no respect to me ..
    I have enough of them .. I cut the contact with them and living happily ever after ..

      So true, I wish we could get away from toxic relationships, but they are a result of our own karmic accounts with them. It is better to finish the accounts in this life itself so that there is hope to get harmonious happy people in next life. For me there is no escape...so, I drown myself in spiritual activities and knowledge. It gives a lot of solace .

    I always try to keep silent when dealing with toxic situations with those people but acting is very hard and complicated when expressing our inner feelings within our facial expressions. I think I have to more practice to improve my mentality to be strong. Thank you very much for your valuble thoughts .....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

      Great ! I had been listening to different versions of this story. But the way you explained is fantastic and made me listen to your talk again.
      I am aware when I get angry and realise it exposes my weak mind.
      Hence in the process of acquiring that state of compassion, self-love, calmness and positivity.
      Thank you on this Guru poornima Day!

      I am a believer in keeping silent when I deal with the toxic person in my life. You see, when he is abusing me verbally, I have found that by reacting, no matter how innocently, like sometimes I have said I didn’t do that it’s not my fault. You see saying that always makes him say more rude things to me. So ifHe says rude things to me, I usually just sit and innocently listen to his crap. I have tried to defend myself, and he never listens to my self-defense or supports me in any way when he is being abusive.

      Yes me too. It’s so hard when it’s your family hurting you. I also am working on this. Not reacting.

    Thx for the teaching. Which I very well know, for a long time. I've done this so many times in my life, even way before I knew about the teaching. Being a very compassionate person and an empath, it's natural to me. Alas, I haven't experienced any positive reactions by just smiling, or asking that question. Maybe it may work with mild anger. It absolutely doesn't work with a narcissist, nor a pervert. Angry people don't listen. Never. You can't tell them a story !! They need to be stopped in their tracks. And the best way I have experienced is, after trying to calm things down, smiling etc., they are worse, I had to send them back their anger in kind of the same mode they did. Alas. It demands very much from me, but at least they diminish or stop, and I'm not full of their hate. If one lets someone just go on and on, and just smiling or saying nothing, or wanting to discuss, forget it! It's going to escalate. That's just a fact, out of experience. I wish it were different. And even when the person is calmed down, the story is maybe heard, but later not applied. Anger comes from way further, deep down. And needs intense therapy to get that into grip. But, anyway, it's always nice listening to Buddha's teachings! At least for inner peace. 🙏🌸
