Jalaluddin RumiIgnore those that make you fearful and sad, that degrade you back towards disease and death.
About This Quote
It is said that if you dread and fear those who make you feel bad, you will be like them and dread and fear yourself. That is the scary thing about those who make you feel bad. You become trapped in their negative thoughts. These people are not positive influences; they are the ones that keep you from becoming who you want to be.
They can make your world a negative place to live in, but they cannot make you like them. That would be like trying to kill your way out of your problems or looking for a way to survive by eating the wrong food. When it comes to those who make you feel bad, you have a choice.
You can learn from their mistakes and stop being a part of their negative influence or do nothing and let them continue to degrade you back towards disease and death.
