You're devastated and yet there are still people who will try to pull you down until you're drowned in mud.
You're hurt and in pain, and yet there are still people who wants to see you in very deep and excruciating pain.
How would do you deal with people who adds insult to injury?

As the saying goes feed them out of a long handle spoon. I would stay away, avoid them. I don't have to associate with negative people especially if they are trying to keep me down. I always have been a fighter and I don't like a quitter or a back stabber, I can spot them a mile. I say stay away from them. You can do it.

Even if you will do everything that would be beneficial and good, still, there are someone who still don't satisfied instead they would backbite and criticized all what good things you've been doing. It's normal cause we can't please everybody. These people are just there at your back waiting their chances to strike against you. Have you forgot that even our Jesus Christ experienced that? In spite of all the good things given to his followers there were still some murmuring and talking against him...How much us here?
Have you remember what he said? " There's no servant that would be higher than his master". If he ( Jesus ) experienced harsh treatment and even persecuted how much on his servants. We (as we knew and believe it) as his servant would experience that. I understand you joyce. The worst and hurting so much if it would come from our own organization.
I think the best thing for you to do would just to keep calm and let their mouth be rotten in backbiting you and pray that this people would be enlighten from what they've doing to you if they are from our own organization.
Never give any attention to these people. Do what you think the right thing to do, stay away from this people.
If you've been stumbled since we're not perfect, rise up and go,,,God bless those people who have fear in Him and always follow His righteousness...Good luck..Cheer up..

That is a painful situation. Imagine you are already down and instead of getting support what you got are insults. I think the only way I could get over that situation is to just to help myself get up and prove to these people that I can manage to come out a better person despite the injury even without their help and support. I know God will be on my side always and that is enough to keep me strong despite being burdened by injury and insults.

Be more challenged and put yourself up. Let them drool and don't look back. The life's struggles is not about them. It is about you. They are elements that could be obstacles that we might be thankful of when we succeed. We have different ways of getting motivated so, pick yourself up and hit the mark!

Hello my friend djoyce71 Ji,
I do not have a better method to deal with such people by applying any of the following
, which I have already added in some of my earlier responses. Please follow any one as
suits you. may god bless you and have great time.
SATSANG
(a) ”If you can balance /stable your mind, when people around you are in un-balanced , and at the same time blaming you”. (NO-reaction)
(b) “If you have belief on yourself, when others have doubt and at the same time, you strongly oppose their belief of their doubt”
(c) “If you can wait for Good/Bright days without loosing patience/getting disheartened of waiting”.
(d) “Everyone around you is deceiving you , whereas you are not in any way.”
(e) “ Every body hates you and you do not, at the same time, you ARE not proud to be ‘good’ and ‘wise’.
(f) “ If you Can dream, but do not allow them to overpower you, and you Can ‘think’ but at the same time, do not plunge into dreams of ‘thinking”.
(g) “If you can welcome ‘gains’ and ‘defeat’ OR ‘profit’ & ‘loss’ with open hearts and they do not unbalance your mind”.
(h) “If you can accept your own words in twisted/mutilated /distorted form, happily by ‘fools’ and they do not involve you in their bad plans”.
(i)“ If you Can bear/tolerate the ‘gains’ accomplished by you ‘raise
to ashes’ , for which you took whole life to build, and at the same time you can once again order your tired hands to restart making”.
(J) “ If you can take one chance to reduce your gains in your life, ‘loose’ or ‘gain’ (like a great gambler)
(k)“If you can, after loosing every bit in your life, get ready fresh to obtain the same with total energy from all corners of your body and mind, without uttering a
single word even”.
(l)“ If you Can compel your heart, mind and limbs, when they are so tired and refuse to accept any thing, except that your ‘belief’ and ‘desire’ to order them that they have to march forward and not falling back”.
(m) “ If you can roam in crowds, but do not allow your ‘thoughts’ and ’abilities’ to wander stray, and you live with emperor, but do not neglect common man “.
(n) “ If you are unharmed by people loving you and people hating you”.
(o)“ If you Can respect everybody within the limits, but at the same time nobody”.
(p)“ IF YOU CAN REMEMBER THE UN-EXCUSED MOMENT/SECOND (time) OF YOUR LIFE, AND EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE SAME”.
Then, the whole world belongs to you only and every thing that exists on this, at the same time you fall under the category of ‘ACTUAL HUMAN BEING ’, which is greatest achievement in the life than any thing else”.
