Wise people appreciate the value of controlling one's temper. Never assume that others are out to harm you. Get all the facts before making an important decision or passing judgment on others. Avoiding becoming easily offended can improve your life and relationships.

Don't give your power to your enemies. You are stronger than those who wish you harm. Your inner strength, self-confidence, and life purpose are something that your enemies are jealous of and can never take away from you.

Family can be made up of close friends, co-workers, teachers, etc. who are supportive and who are also there for us when we face challenging times in our lives.

Co-dependence can make it hard to function at home and at work. Co-dependent relationships make both parties unable to enjoy their individuality and each other.
