The Secret of Peaceful Relationships "Happy is the person who hears an offensive remark about himself and remains silent. He saves himself from a hundred troubles" (Sanhedrin 7a) It takes inner strength to hold your tongue when someone makes a hurtful remark. Yet, it is totally worth the effort because if you initiate an argument you will endure much conflict and strife. Whereas if you master your emotions you will foster peace and goodwill. Lesson: Make every effort to avoid arguments and save yourself from unnecessary anguish. Visualization: Envision Hillel the Elder, who never lost his patience. See how he keeps focused on maintaining his equilibrium. Imagine his pleasant demeanor, endless patience, and joy of life.
