Nor can we be diminished by those that trouble our delicate ego, unless we mistakenly believe we have somehow become less significant as a result of a post.
Better to invest in who we are at the core, rather than the fragile ego that seeks attention, wants to always be right and craves attention.
As children we called each other names and had fights in the school yard but usually made up and laughed about our foolishness.
Last week I saw a documentary about the horrific fighting in Syria.
Bombs, rockets, bullets and grenades rained down on people’s dwellings – these barbaric actions seem worthy of complaining about.
Much else seems a little precious.

Too true. Far too many inflated ego trips around here. Some people need a life. Life is good.
