It's frustrating when people say bad things about kids.

I can't forgive the words I was told when I met my mom, who I knew so well. They're still babies, but they compared each other's children and were able to take the mount.
“Your child is difficult to raise, and compared to that, my child is easy to raise, so I can immediately think of a second child.
My husband is happy to have a good child.
Are you thinking about a second one? Don't you want kids like my kid?”
It was about that kind of content and other bragging stories.
A lot of things were said so suddenly that I couldn't say it back on the spot.
I was so angry that they said bad things about my child and my family, and I can't forget it.
Funny people are everywhere, and even when I'm told not to get involved in the future or not to deal with them, they stay in my head for a long time.
Is it my own problem that I get angry?
What am I supposed to do?

Know your opponent's foolish mentality

That's a person with terrible character, isn't it? From now on, I won't get involved at all.
If I were you, I would say what I should have said. They say “💀 how rude you said something.” What is important is the spirit of teaching. It's not about knocking your opponent off; doing such a strange thing itself is out as a person, so they work to encourage remorse. If a famous person says the same thing, they'll immediately be hit and dried, so let's record just the sound with your smartphone just before we meet (laughs) so that they can say it the next time we meet (laughs).
Buddhism is not a spirit of patience.
If disrespectful people or people who do nuisance acts unnecessarily are left as nuisances, they will continue to act as harm to society, so I really think it is necessary to correct them.
People like that just look like people lack humanity and lack humanity as human beings.
Actually, people with bare egos and nothing but themselves know for themselves that they are “weak” and “inferior.” That's why they say bad things about people.
That's why they go to gain self-advantage and “go win.”
That kind of hungry heart is also called a hungry devil heart. 👹
The human heart becomes ill when it is poor. It is because we are poor that our hearts rot.
That person probably felt so poor.
Rusanchiman is a form of inferiority complex.
This is a common human issue in human history, and it is a common human issue for the same reason even when viewed worldwide.
Various competitions are probably taking place in various places as folk issues.
Since I'm in a state where my stability isn't stable, I want something from someone else, and I try to win. That's why they do stupid things and mount acts in an attempt to show their superiority. (I'm not saying anything stupid)
Due to the diversity that has gone too far in Japanese politics now, invasive alien plants, animals, viruses, and ethnic groups are mixed in various ways, making it difficult. There are times when you put another goldfish in a goldfish bowl and either one of them dies. Fungus fish.
Markings, mounts, and territorial disputes even in the animal world. It's good to have a perspective that they do that kind of thing as a biological instinct.
Then, that funny person also said, “Oh, that's right. Whoa whoa.” A sense of mercy will also spring up.
Buddhism is also the pursuit of proper humanity.
If you put up with anything and don't do anything because you care about it, bad people won't change.

I'm happier in an environment where I raise children who cherish every kind of life.

he's a person who says amazing things...
You're a rude person, don't you think?

I wonder what I'm proud of, if I have the happiness I'm drawing, well, that's fine...
Aren't you ashamed to let people listen to it? People who don't notice that at all and deny other people's children or parents are probably people who are very sorry and have a narrow field of view. As for this, I don't want to get involved.

It's natural to be angry. I was hurt not only by myself, but by my child.
I don't want to be a parent who is immersed in a sense of superiority in comparison, and I'm happier in an environment where I raise children who love their children and cherish any kind of life.

If we know each other, we might meet again. It doesn't matter if you leave it alone. One day, this person will be ashamed, so let's leave him alone.

A chance to notice your own worries

That person is probably a fan of Suneo among the Doraemon characters.
Everyone has their favorite characters, and she may be proud of and longing for characters like Suneo.
In Buddhism, we believe that afflictions such as greed, anger, laziness, and pride cause worry, suffering, and stress.
Being bothered about one's worth by being boasted by the other person is an affliction of pride, the annoyance of anger in response to that is the affliction of anger, and being made to listen to other people's stories regardless of the content is probably the worry of laziness.
When the sound of the other person's bragging voice comes through the air and gets into your ears, then anxiety on your side kicks in.
That stress (after sound comes into my ears) is caused by worries on my side.
Also, there are cases where the strength of anxiety weakens as soon as you realize that it is an affliction.
So, “Oh, now my greed, anger, laziness, and pride have reacted!” Practicing (ascetic practice) to notice this is an exercise to weaken worry, and in turn, training to reduce worry, suffering, and stress.
Therefore, let's rejoice and bravely if the other person's bragging talk is an opportunity to practice noticing their worries, and switch our consciousness to the training of awareness.
Having said that, everyone has worries, and the reality is that they are quite difficult to control.
It's the same for the other party, and those who are worried are like each other, but if Suneo can arouse a sense of mercy that there are cute places when you look closely, it will also lead to a reduction in the stress of one's own anger.
Also, I can't forgive my partner, but if the Buddha's great mercy forgives both me and my partner, I think it's a good idea to delegate “forgiveness” to the Buddha's great mercy.

Don't accept bad intentions or bad words

I read it.
You felt really bad when your mom you know said terrible things to you. You're so frustrated that you can't forget it. I don't know the details about you or that person, but I feel that I can really understand how you feel that way. I understand your feelings from the bottom of my heart.
It's very rude to say such a thing... it's quite hard to understand how to think about making such a terrible statement. I think it's only natural for you to be angry.
That person probably only thinks about themselves, and they probably genuinely think that they are very good and that others are inferior. There are quite a few people in the world who think that only they are superior and others are inferior.

The frog in the well doesn't know the ocean, right? I think that's really stupid. If you commit such malice, insults, or swearing, you will always be rewarded for it.
People around you will not listen to that person's words and actions, and people will walk away because they will think they are very disgusting people.
So let's calm down and walk away as appropriate; let's leave it alone. You don't have to accept that person's malice or insults at all.
That person will naturally be rewarded.

Or, look at people's faces and turn yourself around. Make sure you never give others the same foolish thoughts, actions, or attitudes.

I sincerely pray to the Buddha, gods, and ancestors that you respect each other, be considerate and help each other with a humble attitude, and live peacefully every day, and that your children will be loved by everyone and grow up healthily.
And I wholeheartedly support you all.

What should you do when your mind is disturbed by a mount?

My sudden heartless words solidified me without being able to say them back.
Then, later, anger and sadness revived over and over again, saying “why did you do that...” and “it looks like my child was denied.”

That's natural. You are angry only because you love your child.
Behind anger, there is a straight feeling of “I want to protect what is important.”
So there's absolutely no need to blame yourself for “I wonder if I'm immature when I get this angry...”

In Buddhism, “anger” is one of the three poisons, but that doesn't mean “don't feel it.”
Rather, it is said that “when anger occurs, it is an opportunity to notice one's own wishes.”

I'm sure your wish is
“I want my child to be respected”
“I want to distance myself from a world that looks down on people”
It's a natural and reasonable thought.

It's natural for the mind to respond to words that trample on it.
However, if you keep being pulled by “anger,” the other person's words will control your life.

Therefore, try the following three points of view.

① Imagine “that person might be uneasy if they don't show off something”
Many people who take mounts are actually often “desperately keeping themselves.”
I'm finally able to preserve myself by looking down on you.
When I think so, I can take a little distance from my heart, saying, “Oh, maybe this person isn't satisfied somewhere.”

② Please also forgive “myself for not being able to return anything at that place”
Unexpected words leave people speechless.
If you can't say it back then and there, you're not wrong.
Please evaluate your “self that you calmly accepted” rather than “yourself that you didn't say back.”

③ Please be a “mother who can trust her child”
No matter what anyone says, you believe in, love, and raise your child.
That is the truth of the matter.
If your mind is about to be disturbed by the other person's words, gently say this to them.

“I love my child with all my heart. That's enough”

You are doing a great job as a mother.
There's absolutely no need to doubt the value of yourself or your child with someone else's words.

Please cherish your own peace of mind.
And please keep looking at your child as well.

We sincerely wish you and your child a healthy day.
