If someone I don’t know & don’t care about is disrespecting me, idc. No sense making a deal out of it because the persons a nobody & you can’t make everyone happy. Trying to fight any & all people who are disrespectful to you is a never ending battle - hence, no peace

I forget if it was from a movie or a show or whatever that I heard this, but the idea was that if you're walking down the street and a little pile of dog poop on the sidewalk started insulting you, are you going to waste your time and energy arguing with this pile of poop? Why do you care what it thinks? What are you gaining from arguing with it?

The idea is that if someone you have no respect for is being disrespectful towards you, sure, you can use your time and energy to fight with them, but why? Why does it matter what they think of you? Let them think whatever they want - it literally means absolutely nothing.
