According to Buddha
To meet someone who really hurts you is to meet a rare and precious treasure. Hold that person in high esteem, and make full use of the opportunity to eradicate your defects and make progress on the path. If you cannot yet feel love and compassion for those who treat you badly, it is a sign that your mind has not been fully transformed and that you need to keep working on it with increased application
*(simile) To sting severely, to cause a sensation of stinging, especially said of cold weather. To my small hands, the bitter wind cuts like a knife, freezing my fingers and numbing my circulation.

The grain structure of those knives is amazing! Such beauty there, so eloquently remembered by the snow. I love also the smooth and viscous droplets of melted water portrayed beside the brittle, patterned veins of ice. Always intriguing sights to behold here, Hedy!

That first quote is so important. Once really internalized, it can help someone go very far in forgiveness and empathy.

As for Today’s Buddha quote, I’m afraid I will not be saved. (I tend to fight back…) 🤣
But I’ll give it a thought. An Asian E-friend who’s into martial arts once quoted “Your adversary is not your enemy, s/he is your teacher…” 🙏🏻
fighting is tiring Brian ☺️😁 once long ago I did Uechi-Ryu Karate with my daughter so we’d be 💪and defend ourselves 🤓thanks kindly for your comments always appreciated ~ hugs hedy🤗☺️🕊
