Sometimes, people are hard to understand. They seem like they're of a completely different kind. Using foul language without reason, speaking abusively, saying anything to anyone without thinking—what is all this? Do people not like peace?
It's true—they provoke each other without any reason, constantly criticize others, and point out their flaws. Don't they have any business of their own? What do they gain by threatening, intimidating, insulting, or angering others? Do they find peace in their lives by doing such things?
No, none of them probably ever find peace. And even if they had some peace in life, it must get snatched away.
In the end, what do they gain? Anxiety, mental distress, and death. What did they achieve in life? What did they take from life? What did they give to others? What impact did they leave on others? Whom did they ever help? How did others benefit from their existence?
For such people, the answers to all these questions would surely be "no," because they are negative individuals. They don't use their intelligence at all. They probably haven't used their intellect enough to even realize what they are doing.
What do people ultimately want to achieve by behaving this way? It's hard to understand. This too is like a chain—anger, bad behavior, arrogance, stubbornness, jealousy—these pass from one person to another. It's like a small seed that someone once planted, and over time, it grows. People with toxic mindsets act like water to that seed.
Those who are older have usually gone through many experiences; they possess foresight, understanding, and maturity. But even then, when such older individuals behave like people with small minds, they no longer deserve to be called mature.
Even though we live among such people, our inner peace gets disturbed. We constantly fear that their behavior might hurt others. We should keep our distance from such people, because they can harm us without any reason.
We must pay special attention to the peace of our own minds, because for us, mental peace comes first. How can we keep our minds calm? That's the first thing we need to understand.
