A good man does not allow himself to be upset by insult, nor to be troubled by the fault of another.

What it means today

The fault of another is not your burden, and the insult of another is not your injury unless you make it so. The good person stays even and keeps his peace.

Try this todayWhen insulted today, refuse to let it lodge in you; let it pass.
