Om Swami

How should I handle abusive words that people throw at me?

Gandhi kept the useful part of an abusive letter

Somebody wrote Gandhi a letter full of abusive language. He kept the only useful thing in it, the pin, and threw the rest in the bin.

I have kept what I would reuse, the thing that matters to me, the only useful thing in the letter. What I didn't want to use, I have thrown away.
