We artistes tend to be emotional beings and always have the instinct to respond immediately and not pleasantly. But what does one gain from that, exactly? Momentary satisfaction, I suppose, but that's about it. Saying nothing is the high road - they can do what they please and when people like this create this aura of negativity, one doesn't have to do anything at all - one just sits back and karma does the rest. And when I've behaved poorly in my past life, believe me I paid thanks to karma - which is why I constantly strive to be a decent human being - who needs bad karma? Not me. That I leave to them.
