“Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you yourself will be just like him.” Proverbs 26:4 NIV
Sometimes it’s clear cut “I’m dealing with a fool”, but most of the time it isn’t a fool, but foolish things we deal with on a regular basis.
It’s usually non ill intended, but careless comments coming our way, and when this happens I believe the Bible’s point is right on the money when it says do not get down to the same level, as it’ll make things just worse and jump in a never ending loop.
When do we experience foolish comments most? From loved ones. Both my personal experience and professional work tells me this. Let us create healthy boundaries, proper perspective, and enough self love to not have/need to lower ourselves when fooling arrows are thrown our way.
