When people do things that are harmful to you, either maliciously or negligently, it can feel very invalidating. You feel vulnerable and like you don't have agency over your own life. But two truths I want to affirm:
Firstly, the energy and the spirit behind that person's actions can be converted into something positive and good. Somehow it provides an opportunity for change. It raises a lot of issues, and that gives you the chance to address those issues.
Secondly, no one can trample or violate the things that really matter. Your values, goals, aspirations, beliefs, are yours and they can't be touched. There are things that do not 'perish, spoil or fade'. (1 Peter 1:4)
