This reveals the subjective nature of feeling wronged or injured by others' actions. While physical harm may be objective, emotional injury requires our participation through our judgments and interpretations. When someone insults us, the words themselves are just sounds - the injury comes from our decision to feel insulted rather than amused, educated, or indifferent. This doesn't minimize genuine harm or abuse, but it shows how much of our suffering comes from our internal response rather than external events. By refusing to accept the role of victim in situations where we have choice, we reclaim our power and peace. The injury exists only as long as we nurture and maintain our sense of being wronged.
