Some times a person who's very close to your heart might say something unkind to you. What comes to the mind immediately is to react using more unkind words. This is called defense. That is the way of the egoic mind. Defense. Who are you defending yourself from? who are you fighting? Have you seen the earth defending herself from earthquake? Have you ever seen someone who fought cancer and won
...? Have you?
It is important instead to watch where these feeling is arising from. The person who is saying harsh words to you, is the part of you that needs healing. It is your own shadow hungry for some light, craving for a clean glass of water. Can you be the light for him? Can you be the oasis in the desert? Can be a space where the healing happens quickly?
