”Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.” (Lao Tzu)
.
INTERPRETATION
“Lao Tzu’s wisdom here is profound. It speaks to the power of maintaining one’s composure and wisdom even when faced with ignorance or rudeness. By responding intelligently to unintelligent treatment, we demonstrate strength, maturity, and a deeper understanding of the situation. It’s a reminder that we have control over our reactions and can choose to respond with grace and insight, regardless of how others may behave. This approach can often lead to better outcomes and can even help to diffuse tense situations.” (ChatGPT)
