Om Swami
How should I respond when someone insults me or treats me badly?
Answer insult with tact, not brute force
When someone insults you, tackle it tactfully and know the strength of the other person before you confront them. Replying in their own manner brings you down to their level, but you also don't have to keep taking insults.
If someone has insulted you, you need to know how to tackle it tactfully. You have to be tactful; you can't just be brutal, because that won't serve any purpose.
