"Bastards & bitches"

Bastards...

Bitches

I used to get very offended when people use the word 'bastard' on me. Cos i always felt that reflect badly on my mum.. implying that she slept around and I'm not my father's son. I still do - may the heavens help the unlucky person who mean to insult my parentage and my mum & dad

On the other hand, have you pondered why do you get angry when people scold u? It may not be as vulgar as 'you're a bastard', could be as mild as 'asshole'. Heck, even 'you bastard' can be taken as a joke, depending on who the person and the context, the tonality and other stuff.

Aha. Gotcha =D

The Great Truth is... how hurt you feel when someone scolds you or insults you depends on how much value you place on the opinion of the person, or how much standing the person has in your life

Put it in another way, it is YOU youself who determines HOW MUCH power you give to every individual in your life.

Suppose a stranger scolds you and your mother scolds you. Which will hurt more? Your mum rite? WHY? Because firstly, she has a high value in your life as your mum and secondly, you gave her the power, the control over you.

What I'm trying to say is, when someone scolds me or hurl some racist remarks or whatever shit that is offensive, I MYSELF, have the power and choice either to let the person and remark get to me personally and feel upset all over it and ponder why why why is that person so mean etc etc etc OR I could just brush off the remark and not even be bothered about it =)

Doesn't it sound amazing? :D You control everything, you have the power to decide who can hurt you and who can't? You make all the decisions. You are in control. NOBODY can hurt you unless YOU ALLOW THEM TO

This is called Empowerment girls and boys :D

Remember this profound truth and apply it in your life =)
