How To React to Mean People

Morning Mantra: "I can't see the haters."  

I never understood intentional cruelty.  But it's out there. What does someone gain by making other people feel bad? A fleeting moment of power?  I get nasty comments and messages on this page (unbelievable but true!) and it always leaves me wondering why they feel like they need to be this way.

I'll never really know so I guess it becomes about how I respond to mean people? Being mean back at them won't do anything to change the situation it just makes me like them.  I try to remember that they try to hurt you because they are hurting inside.

It also doesn't show them an alternative way to be.   So when I get a nasty comment I don't chastise them or get snarky.  I try to...
Show them compassion.  
Show them grace.  
Then I delete the comment and move on.

I won't let them turn me into a mean person.  
As hard as it is to ignore mean people, it's the only way to inner peace for you.
