Only a fool is bothered by foolishness

 

What really perturbs you? Is it the foolishness that goes on around you? It is foolish to be perturbed by foolishness. Foolishness cannot overpower or annihilate wisdom nor does foolishness last very long. 


When you are not well grounded in wisdom, then foolishness perturbs you, throws you off balance. When you create space for foolishness, you will not get perturbed by it, rather you will laugh and move on. Otherwise, you get hateful or angry, or become stressed by foolish acts. 


When you know that truth is eternal and invincible, you accept foolishness as a joke and remain unmoved by it. Those who are averse to foolishness or get irritated by it are also members of the fools’ club.
