A very wise man was once asked by a young man, how is it in all of these years past you never seem to be negatively effected by anything or even people saying bad things against you? The wise man replied; Son, I know the things I know and I know the things I don't know. The wise man asked the young man what was the reason he seem to be so sad and upset? He replied; I had those that I trusted to be my friends spreading a great deal of untruth's about me and now siding with others who for what ever reason dislike and/or hate me. The wise man pulled out a small mirror from his pocket and asked the young man to look on it, and he said; is the person they're talking about and hate in this reflection?
How is it that you would allow yourself to be burden and beaten down by what others falsely accuse and/or project you to be for their reasons dealing with evil intentions.

To be real Brother, THE "Sticks and stone may break my bones but names will never hurt me" SAYING WAS NOT TRUE. The truth is, that many times, words do hurt, and hurt very much. We must remember though, that people said very hurtful things about Jesus too. If we can think on that, and we truly are behaving ourselves, it should give us great comfort to know we are in good company.
