Will future-you respect today's you?

Today I was confronted with a dilemma.
Someone had gone out of their way to lie about who I am, to make matters worse, they did this publicly.  I was mad, really mad even,  for about 3 minutes.

Then it hit me; the bullies will always be there.  The people who hate you will always exist.  All we can do to keep ourselves sane and happy is to not let another person's misery and vile thinking penetrate our sense of who we are. 

The price we pay for the poor choices we have made is infinite. 
When you look back and feel that you want to give your younger self a beating; stop.  Use that energy and passion to ensure your future self approves of who you are today.
