LH... how true. My mother has always done so, even when people were mean to her. She always said not to get upset or react in any way but to never forget and never allow the situation to recur. I have come to realize, to an extent, that when someone treats me badly and I react with vitriol or violence or revenge, thinking along the lines that "I don't shit from anybody.", I am the loser in the long run most of the time.

Now, I still draw the line when my friends are treated poorly but I have toned down becoming upset personally... to an extent... >;-)
