We spend a considerable amount of time in the pursuit of changing people; we view people as changeable phenomena and drain timeless energy, time, and effort trying to adapt people into the lens of our world view. This mindset is what separates masters and novels in human nature.

See every human as a natural phenomenon to study! Look into their behaviors and dive into the oceans of wonder, and utilize lenses of human nature. The moment you acquire a state of arousal while decoding people is the moment you become a master of human nature.

Gossiping is the inability to see people as natural phenomena, which indicates a volatile level of mastery of the human condition. When people criticize you, they are simply trying to tell you, 'you don't live your life like I see fit,' which is childish at best and narcissistic at worst. Never indulge in an endless sea of criticism.
