I love this post.
Leo Tolstoy (I believe is the writer) who writes about pain bodies.
Individuals who set out to inflict emotional pain on others or to just make nasty remarks and ruin your day have a large pain body. This pain body comes from being hurt and insecurities. It is fed by inflicting this hurt and these insecurities on others.
When someone’s pain body attacks you, don’t retaliate. Just ignore it and move on. Accept that this person is dealing with something you can’t see and just be kind.
