Yes these things have very little importance. It is the great malady that we often give too much importance to things that have little or no importance and too little value to things that really matter.
What people think or do not think about us has very little importance. In any case someone else’s opinion and behaviour is not in our hands. It is only ourselves and our thoughts, our motives and actions, our will and feelings, our hopes and aspirations that are given to us as material to work upon. The only person we can strive to change is ourselves and, fortunately not only nobody can stand in the way of our striving to change, everything, every event and situation and circumstance can become an opportunity to learn and change and grow.
Affectionately,
