“I was so insulted!” we often exclaim. “So-and-so ruined my whole day!”

Rabbi Chaim Pinchas Scheinberg, shlita, says, “Oversensitivity is a major cause of trouble in people’s lives. It prods them to bear a grudge and take revenge.”

When a person understands the temporary nature of his stay in this world and realizes how soon he will leave it, he is not concerned with insults. Rabbi Zelig Pliskin suggests that we start to think differently about insults to protect ourselves from the emotional and spiritual damage they cause. Imagine, he says, a businessman on a trip bumping into someone who insults him. If he is wise, he will ignore the verbal punch. He is on business and cannot afford to waste precious time on trivial matters. Besides, when away from his real home, insults don’t seem to matter that much. Our sojourn in this world is only a “business trip.” We are here to do a job, then we will be going “home.” We certainly don’t have time to waste on trivialities. Insults are really irrelevant to our true bottom line.
