- Those Who Calm Themselves
- 4 Sahng-jeh-nim said, “When it turns out that the person you were in a dispute with was correct and you were wrong, the trouble disappears naturally if you repent your fault.
- 5 People who do not know Me vilify Me. If I were to vilify them in return, I would be the bigger fool.”
- 6 Upon hearing one person slander another, Sahng-jeh-nim said, “People have different roles. Why speak of whether a person is right or wrong?
- 7 When others nitpick and are contentious, those who calm themselves are noble and will be blessed.
- 8 Those who cannot help giving in to anger and joining in the fight are inferior. The spirits will not help them, so how can they expect to succeed?”
- (JSD Dojeon 8,27)
