How do you respond to ridicule?
Ridicule affects people differently. Some people react to ridicule with intense emotion and/or use words. Ryokan offers another example. He is a Zen Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit. He responds to ridicule by bowing deeply in silence. He does not seek to explain or justify himself.
What if you allow energy to flow and respond to everything and everyone with kindness? Take a moment. Notice what you feel is happening. Wisdom is not acquired, but reveals itself inside as one lives fully.

Consider that no matter who you get away from, you cannot escape from yourself. You are never the problem, its how you relate to life (external worlds) and inner self. As you grow more self-accepting, you no longer experience conflict or criticism. You no longer notice them and they cannot affect you.
