Does competition, jealousy, hurt, irritation or anger ring a bell?

I can bet that if you're human, it does.

When somebody ill-treats you without reason, don't cry.

Don't hurt or mull over it either.

Stiffen up on the outside; melt a little on the inside.

See that their ego is hurting.

Feel for them.

Notice their immaturity when they try to portray you in bad light just to look better in front of an audience.

They ARE paying you the BIGGEST compliment EVER.
