I give you an opportunity to provide insight regarding why you do what you do and what do you do? You continue the attempts to defend yourself.
“He that fights and runs away
May turn and fight another day;
But he that is in battle slain
Will never rise to fight again.”
If you want people to stop baiting you, quit taking the bait! Simple as that. You may think it’s cowardly but you have to remember that those who shy away from battle tend to live longer.
I don’t understand. If you can’t bear to ignore the bait, how can you leave for good?
