Responding

Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.

~ Lao Tzu

I have been thinking lately about how the best response to some things is silence. Or walking away. Recently I heard someone say something like their response to some people is, "You clearly are dedicated to not understanding me." That resonated with me. I know that can't always be the way I deal with people, but it can be sometimes.

How sad that they won't get to enjoy my clever responses anymore.
