There will be times in life when people will hurt you, wrong you, or be so self-absorbed that they won’t be able to see your love, care or your goodness. Sometimes, they won’t even be able to see that they have wronged you. And I think at such a time, the only way you can deal with it is to understand that it’s not you, it’s them. It’s not your fault and there’s nothing wrong with you. It’s them, who can’t see goodness, it’s them who are either too selfish to care about other people or to understand that there are people and relationships that need to be valued. At such a time, it is important to understand that it’s not your problem. Yes, this idea is difficult to understand, difficult to accept, difficult to internalize, and difficult to practice but really, it’s not your damn problem. It’s their problem that they are horrible people, it’s their problem that they are blind, it’s their problem that they don’t value the good people around them, and it’s their problem that they are selfish. Because they are not just wronging you, they are wronging themselves by depriving themselves of your light, goodness and positivity. And if they have seriously wronged you, then they are also cursing themselves to suffer a punishment from the Almighty.
So really, it’s not your problem at all. And it’s not your fault.
