My dear "adversaries", I cannot control how you perceive me or how you feel about me. But, fortunately, I can decide what to feel about you.

I refuse to hit you. I refuse to hate you. I refuse to call you anything but "my friend with whom I disagree".

I cannot hate you because I don't even know you. Because if I knew you and you me, we would be friends. 

But I am not here to win a popularity contest. I am here to live my life in peace with a clean conscience. I want to be happy; so, I am happy. I promise myself peace of mind. I deserve it. And, so do you. 

Let not thoughts of vengeance and violence rob you of your peace and happiness.  When you wish me ill-luck and despair, I don't feel it. When you wish me ruin and destruction, I don't feel it. When you wish me pain and unhappiness, I don't feel it. You do not touch me with your bitter and hateful thoughts; you scar your own soul. Why would you do that to yourself?
