How to deal with rude behavior

What do you do when someone behaves very rudely to you?

⚫Get upset
⚫React rudely back
⚫Get frustrated
⚫Run-away from and avoid the person or the situation
⚫Blame the person
⚫Preach to the person
⚫None of these will in any way strengthen you.

Then what are the options? See rude behavior in this light:

⚫It indicates the intensity of their commitment
⚫It indicates the amount of stress and insensitivity
⚫It projects the up-bringing of the person
⚫It indicates a behavioral pattern
⚫It shows lack of knowledge
⚫It shows lack of observation of one's own mind and its sensations
⚫It shows you behavior to avoid
⚫It is an opportunity for you to welcome and absorb the rudeness
⚫It strengthens your mind
⚫It unconditions the love that you are

The next time when someone is rude to you, make sure you don't get upset. Just give back a broad smile. If you can digest the rudeness, nothing whatsoever can shake you.
