Sorry to be the dissenter...

When I was a kid, my Dad said, "Be the bigger man."

If I was a buddhist (or something like that), I'd say something like, "Simply concentrate on being the best YOU you can and let the bullshit just pass right on by."  If you don't let things stick to your chest, you don't have to worry about getting them off.

If I was running for office, I would never mention the opponent.

I abhor political correctness, but I equally abhor the harshness/negativity of speech that has taken its place; the pendulum has swung too far.  "Bashing" is not the answer -- it's a reaction -- emotional and negative.

There can be a kind and gentle truth... somewhere in the middle.  (I can't see it either... but if I stop believing it's there, then I'm lost)
