No sir, this is not a typo, it works when someone whose ways you do not appreciate comes near you. Such situations leaves us with little choices, and the most common response is frustration and expressing contempt or ridicule.

But the wise choose to ignore the presence of such an entity. And come to think about it, isn’t it enough that you chose to be unaffected by their arrival; might seem rude to some, but hey, if I was on the receiving end and I got to choose which one of your responses I’d prefer from these three (contempt, ridicule, ignoring), I would happily ask you to ignore my arrival than to impart any negative energy.

Plus, there is no point in finding fault in another. We ourselves have so much to improve on, and for all we know, the fault is our own that we don’t understand “them” in the correct light.

Let them follow their path, leave them alone.

Come to think about it, ignoring someone less appreciated requires alot of self-control, a quality worth developing and this could be our jolly good opportunity work on it. Talk about optimism, hehe..

It also requires a purity of mind.

And, it helps develop the attitude of unaffectedness.

I couldn’t help but share this beautiful piece of writing by Audrey Hepburn.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes,seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
