If
someone insults us, we usually dwell on it, asking ourselves, “Why did
he say that to me?” and on and on. It’s as if someone shoots an arrow at
us, but it falls short. Focusing on the problem is like picking up the
arrow and repeatedly stabbing ourselves with it, saying, “He hurt me so
much. I can’t believe he did that.”
—Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, "Putting Down the Arrow"
