Do we feel superior over other persons when we insult them? And if someone dares to insult us ,can we keep ourselves cool or we outburst with anger? How to have real control over mind or is that really impossible?

I think that is the matter of situation or circumstances only. If a person is saying anything , in which context it is taken. Even in a class if teacher scold a student it is taken by some student as insult, but in real every time it is not. So who and why is the questionable words.And if really a person does this delebaretly then i think then there is a line. reply with stone if some one do this with you.

Hi anurag, I follow one rule very much that it is better to walk away than to be carried away.... And it really works.

For me, I don't really care what about people say me. Because it is not worth for it, that it destroy whole day. The most important is that you know who you are, and stay to be yourself.

Often the outbreaks are hate angry and heartburn..,as it is really really difficult to restrain. But you are right...,some people get pleasure out of watching who they have insulted cry, squirm or feel uncomfortable. Their main purpose is to get reaction from the other person. They always look for a positive and combative comeback, if it is not given there are maximum chances they stop.

It is not difficult to keep mind cool when somebody insults. If you are compassionate, then you naturally remain cool even when someone insults you. Actually, mind is responsible for getting angry. We have to gain mastery over the mind. Once the mastery is gained, then it is very easy to remian cool, whatever the situation. The mind makes us get angry. Someone insulting us is not the real problem.
