There's a story of Buddha.
在旅途中，碰到一個不喜歡他的人。連續好幾天，好長的一段路，那人用盡各種方法誣蔑他。
In travelling, Buddha met a man who dislikes him. For the next coming days
and a long distance, that man teased at Buddha with many kinds of insults.
最後，佛陀轉身問那人：「若有人送你一份禮物，但你拒絕接受，那麼這份禮物屬於誰 的？」
Eventually, Buddha turned and asked that man, "if one's like to send you a gift and you'd refuse to take, so who will own the gift?"
那人答：「屬於原本送禮的那個人。」
That man said, "The one who sent the gift."
佛陀笑著說：「沒錯。若我不接受你的謾罵，那你就是在罵自已？」
說：「沒錯。若我不接受你的謾罵，那你就是在罵自已？」
Buddha smiled and said, "Correct. If I could not accept your insults, on the other hand, the bad words would come back to you."
那人摸摸鼻子走了。
That man ran away embarrassedly.
重點就在於，只要心靈健康，別人怎麼想都影響不了我們。
The story tells us that the point is the health of our mind, and with it nobody can harm us.
若我們一味地在乎別人的想法或說法，就會失去自主權。
If we care about the thinking or comments from the others, we would lost our independent mind.
