I am wondering is it right to fight if some one is verbally abusing you in particularly

(REPLY) Sat Nam. Did you finish asking your question? It seems you stopped in mid-sentence. There's an old saying, "sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Well, words can and do hurt, but even so, it's still not usually enough reason to use physical violence in response. Teasing, insulting verbally is based on ignorance and stupidity. But if you strike the first blow, you will be the guilty one! You really haven't provided enough information for a complete answer, but in general, resorting to physical violence doesn't solve anything. People insult and abuse to get you to react, and if you react, they have won! I hope you won't let them have that power over you. You need to be secure in knowing who you are,so that no one else can shake your self-confidence. Blessings, SP
