Thousands of lamps can be lit from a lamp. Yet the light of the lamp does not diminish, in the same way the happiness grows with lightning. Not less.

Once, Gautam Buddha was passing through a village. The people of that village had a misconception about Gautama Buddha, for which they considered Buddha as their enemy. When Gautam Buddha came to the village, the villagers said bad things to the Buddha and started giving them buds.

Gautam Buddha kept listening to the villagers quietly and when the villages were tired of speaking and speaking, Buddha said, "If all of you have finished, then I will go out"
The people of the village were surprised to hear the Buddha. One of them said - "We have not complimented you. We are giving you Badooas. Do not you make any difference ???? "itembold
Buddha said - Go, I do not take your abuse. What happens to you by giving abuses, unless I accept abuses will not result in any consequences. A few days ago a person had given me some gifts but when I refused to take that gift, that person withdrew the gift. When I will not, how can someone give me?

Buddha asked with great humility - If I did not receive a gift, then what would the gift giver have done?

Someone from the crowd said that the person would have kept that gift with him.

Buddha said - I have great compassion for all of you, because I am unable to take these abuses and therefore your abuses are left to you.

Friends, this small story of God Gautam Buddha's life can bring a big change in our life, because more than half of us think that the reason for our sorrows is another person. There can be no other person because of our troubles or sufferings, and if we believe that the reason for our problems is another person, then we ignore the lack of control and emotional inefficiency on our own.
It depends on us whether we accept negativity provided by others. If we accept negativity, then we shoot at the foot of our own hands.
