We get offended – but what if the person who got offended, wasn’t you?

Surely we realize, that though we abhor evil, we don’t take it personally, unless it is personal!

So to depersonalize the event, is to get better.

Here’s how

Number one, a critic of a Rebbe, once made fun of the Rebbe to one of his disciples, but the disciple was blasé about it – asked someone to him – “doesn’t it bother you that he is criticizing your Rebbe?” – “Oh’ he is not criticizing my Rebbe; if he knew my Rebbe, he wouldn’t criticize him!”

2. Additionally, a person really sees their own issues – hence people who are happy don’t even see what to criticize, as the Baal Shem Tov comments, people are mirrors, only when there is dirt on someone’s face, do they see it reflected in the other!

And most importantly, you are not you – you are really Divine energy – your perception that was hurt was also a false creation of your own perception!
