Sometimes, people you hardly know treat you like shit and you'd wonder -- what did you do wrong to earn their malice? Perhaps they woke up on the wrong sides of their beds this morning? Perhaps they were having an aggravating toothache, which prevented them from acting civilly and sensibly? Perhaps they were offended by the way you parted your hair to the right, or the way you walked, or the way you articulated your words with the "th" sound in all the proper places? Perhaps you simply caught them on one of their "off" days, which means, either their good temperament went on a sabbatical to Honolulu or that their consciences had given them leave to be nasty without just cause??
Whatever the case, when someone gives you shit, there are two things which you can do, depending on your current disposition:
1) you could give them shit right back at their faces, or
2) you swallow the shit, then grin and bear it.
Me? Since I'm such an adoring fan of Mahatma Gandhi and his faith for pacifism, I'd probably choose the latter. Yes, that's right -- you can step all over my head.
