Wisdom from Harry Potter
In attempting to kill Harry Potter, Voldemort left a part of himself in Potter. That is why Potter shared part of Voldemort -- including hatred. Potter had to let that part of him die before he could defeat Voldemort (Book 7). In fact, after that part of Potter died, Potter did not attempt to kill Voldemort. He cast the Expelliarmus, the disarming spell (when Voldemort used Avada Kedavra, the killing curse).
When someone tries to hurt you, he leaves part of him on you. For example, you might share the hatred that he left on you. Sometimes you want to hurt him in retaliation. Until you let that part of you die, you'll always be troubled. You'll have to forgive in order to release you from the suffering that he's caused.
Our acts all affect each other. Every action leaves some marks in this world. Unfortunately, we can all be troubled by criticism. Sometimes even the calmest or most intelligent people can be affected.
That's why I'm no longer bothered by Professor Kong's harsh accusations. Who cares about what a miserable man says?
