Each of you, every single person, is on Earth, interacting with the people they do, for one reason. To learn. This doesn't mean learning about other people nor acquiring knowledge. It is learning in the sense of learning about oneself. Every thought, every interaction, every situation, is an oppurtunity for each individual to learn more about themselves. Those who embrace those oppurtunities live in harmony with natural laws. Those who reject their learning oppurtunities are ego driven, swimming against the current, embracing only their constant struggle for survival.
Reality is like a mirror. We perceive what we believe and we can freely choose what we believe. Have we not control of our own thoughts?
When someone says something you don't like, they're just reflecting back to you your own beliefs, thereby giving you an oppurtunity to learn and grow. Embrace that oppurtunity, rejection of it will only bring you suffering as you're rejecting part of yourself.
Choice requires consistent effort, daily adherence to a regime of non-conformity, as conformity is synonymous with choosing to go along with the thoughts of the masses. Rarely does conformity produce appreciable results.
In the face of a schedule of assumed conformity, it is the courageous individual who succeeds.
Choose wisely.
