One of the worst and shameful situation that can happen to someone who keeps protecting his or her self-worth are public insults. Trust me people can even commit crimes when the person takes the insult very personally. Laughter as said before can be the best medicine but you should know that you are not targeting a specific person, religion or even gender.
This is because there have been many incidents happening as these issues are situated at every place in the world. Someone making fun or joking around in the name of the culture can hurt the sentiments of those people. And the worst part is that it won’t be tolerated if you are living in the geographical region.
Stand-up comedy, we all know that how much fun and entertaining it is because the comedians are able to make people laugh at the spot itself. Some of them are not even scripted. It might be a special talent, but in India it has been raised as an issue because of the content.
The content is moreover related to criticism of culture, religion and history. Audience and comedians might think it as funny but since it is an old tradition, therefore it cannot be tolerated. Now coming towards an insult which is related to individual’s life. What do you think is an insult? Someone might say, it can be creating humour over someone’s failures, struggles, pain which then negatively impacts his or her respect.
Some people do it intentionally to cause hurt while some do it with an intention of creating pure sarcasm. Let’s take over both the sides. It is said that life is worthless without cracking jokes. But for making jokes there is always a need of a topic or else it will be considered as meaningless. When someone tries to create jokes on you then, there is need to worry about because the more you concentrate on it, worsen it will be for your mental health.
Your actions matter and the way you act in front of criticism also creates a different kind of respect and impression. People often get trapped in situations especially the ones who have created their names in the market. Calm minded individuals never react at all as they get to know that it will actually degrade their respect.
When you react back in the similar manner, then it is a sign of immaturity. What only remains is the sign of ignorance. Ultimately people form judgements. The right ones will always be able to differentiate what is right and what is wrong. And in that case you also increase your worth. On the other side, your reaction can make you the part of the system. What we call as karmas is naturally true.
And in most of the cases, each one of us have suffered. It’s always said that if you react back, it can cause the same amount of hurt. The reason behind this is we use our energy, time and thoughts in planning evil and to take revenge of the past. People get to know through the chain and the news scatters in no time.
INSULTS CAN BECOME PART OF GROWTH IF TAKEN POSITIVELY
You might be thinking how this is even possible. But sometimes these insults reflect our true self. Our way to deal with it, reflects our attitude, values and personality. This doesn’t mean you will show maturity just in front of the people who are watching you. But it also matters how you are processing those thoughts in your mind and the way you feel inside.
Some people only show it externally but deep inside they are always filled with toxicity. Growth not only means what we learn from our mistakes but at the same time we need to also look where others are going wrong. Insults generally mean disrespect of a person but on the other side it also acts as a constructing point towards our self-control, patience, values and most importantly learning.
We are able to recognize the way to deal with such individuals. What educated people like to see is not the way you fight physically or emotionally. Those people want to know how much strong you are mentally and spiritually. Educated people get impressed depending on the way we deal with such heavy criticism and insults.
SOME INSULTS CAN CHANGE OUR LIFE
When we are going through tragic times there is always someone who motivates us to become better. But such motivation doesn’t make us capable or we can also say that it makes us dependent on that individual. As explained earlier taking down insults all depends on your perspective, if you take it in a constructive manner, it can help you a lot.
And there are people, who are able to understand the struggle and point it out in front of others, but deep down we take it as an insult. We think they are trying to pull our legs but on the other side they encourage us to fight with those problems. There are people who insult us in public place, but those words are somewhere deeply rooted with the reality.
We too are able to recollect everything which is said but then it bursts our anger and we take it as a criticizing statement. Being humble and listening to someone’s words keenly can help to find motivation. Ego is a very bad enemy and because of our mentality we are not able to take right decisions. Instead of accepting and learning, we might ignore them.
There have been real incidents of people able to attain exponential growth just through such advice. So not all of those insults are toxic to our mind but if we are able to understand the cause, we can understand life in a better manner.
At last it all depends on how you take these insults. If you are reacting negatively in order to seek peace, then you need to choose some other option. Listen to what person is saying before entitling as wrong or right. What is wrong is not always wrong and what seems to be right will not always turn right.
