About This Quote

As much as we would like to believe that people are always kind and that our actions do not have any long-term negative effects, the truth is that people are sometimes mean and cruel. They will often say things that make others angry and hurtful. However, it is important to be able to deal with these negative people the right way in order to make sure no harm comes to others. We should not let them take advantage of us or cause us any real problems. If we learn how to deal with negative people in the right way, then they will become much less of a threat in our lives.
