Don’t waste your time getting involved with unreasonable people.
When a dog bites you, you cannot bite back. Doing so would mean lowering yourself and disrespecting the dignity and value of a lion.
There is a short story that goes like this. One day, a lion father took his son to patrol their territory. Along the way, they encountered another lone male lion wandering nearby. The father said, “Watch how I drive this intruder away.” He then bravely charged forward and successfully protected their land.
On another day, the two lions encountered a tiger sneaking around their territory. The father told his son, “Watch and learn how I deal with this outsider.” He once again charged forward and defended their home.
Another time, they saw a leopard approaching the forest. The lion father turned to his son and said the same thing before charging in with a roar to protect their territory.
But one day, while on patrol, they saw a pack of hungry hyenas stalking a herd of antelope. This time, the father led his son in the other direction. He calmly said, “Face tigers and leopards if needed, but stay away from wild dogs.”
The young lion asked, “Why did you let them go?”
The father replied, “It is just one prey. Letting them have it keeps them quiet. If we provoke them, who knows what madness they will cause. Our value lies in being kings of the jungle. Never lower yourself to the level of mad dogs.”
In life, we must also learn to take the position of a lion. We must protect our territory, our rights, and the people we care about. But knowing how to protect them wisely is something not everyone understands. Sometimes fighting back fiercely only makes things worse because some people will never act or think rationally.
There is an old saying. A man wearing shoes should fear the one who walks barefoot. Or, you can’t grab a bald man by the hair. People who have nothing to lose have nothing to hold back. They will do anything, break any rule, and ignore all principles just to get what they want. That is why petty people often act more aggressively than decent ones. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it is best to stay away from people like that.
It is also wise to limit interactions with people who carry too much negative energy. Their emotions are like a sealed container filled with clutter. Things that should have been discarded are kept inside, adding nothing but pressure. Pessimistic emotions feed on one another and create a powerful force that affects both the body and mind. When everything reaches a certain limit, it explodes and spills over onto others.
In life, many people live with a negative mindset. This constant negativity attracts trouble. Those who seek drama often find themselves surrounded by drama. Those who judge others harshly often meet resistance. Those who always expect bad luck tend to encounter it again and again. This cycle continues unless they break free. If they do not, the negative energy only grows stronger and more dangerous.
Even worse, negative people often want to spread their mindset to others. It is like someone dumping trash onto the street because their house is full. When people feel overwhelmed inside, they start blaming everything around them. With such unreasonable thinking, confrontation or debate cannot solve anything.
So why should we avoid these people rather than face them head-on? The more you respond, the more power their negativity gains. You could end up spending time and energy dealing with consequences that bring no benefit at all.
Allowing yourself to be dragged into unreasonable battles turns you into a victim of negativity. The better choice is to step away, protect your peace of mind, and avoid being brought down to the same level as people who are not worth it.
Of course, ignoring difficult people is not easy. But try to endure it. They are the ones who challenge us and help us expand our limits. Through them, we learn how to stay calm in the face of chaos. Do not be rude or give up your politeness just because someone treats you poorly. If you do, it means giving up your self-respect and personal values.
To live a more fulfilling life, avoid trouble as much as you can. And when you cannot avoid it, face it calmly and wisely. Protecting your positive energy will make you feel more at peace, free from the pressure and tension that come from carrying too much inside.
Positive energy brings clarity and optimism. It helps you see things clearly and feel more alive. In contrast, negativity weighs you down and keeps you trapped in your own limits. Without realizing it, you become stuck.
