Truth Will Speak For You

I was talking with a friend of mine today.

He told me how someone we both know, betrayed his friendship and started lieing about him, behind his back. This person was trying to destroy his image, to their mutual friends.

It was rather frustrating to hear. It made me upset.

I took a break today and read from "How to have Courage, Calmness and Confidence" and on page 41 I read about his situation he's going through:

"Praise does not make you better, nor blame worse, than what you are. Then why heed these two? Don't pay attention when people praise you, but survey yourself carefully when they blame you. If you are at fault, free yourself from error quickly; but if you are not guilty, laugh and forget it. Truth will speak for you."
