Lord Shantideva: "As there are those who jeer at
you, why to get exhilarated; as there are those who praise you, why to get
downcast."
Similarly, as there are those who despise you, why to feel
lovingly supported; as there are those who care for you unconditionally, why to
feel aloof.
In essence, the ethereal and ephemeral nature of mental or physical
vibes doesn't count on how we perceive--they're just, on the one hand, as
mundane as the tricks of the language (naming and expressions) play but, on the
other hand, lie far beyond such ordinary perception, the reality of being
ephemerally interdependent rather than being wholly independent as the tricks
of our instinct hold an entity or any through naming. :)
