...not want to mingle with? We all have to be a bit selective about who we spend time with. We cannot please everyone. We also have to listen to our own truth. Not to mention, there Are people that we are not comfortable mingling with even though they might be interested. And confronting them isn't always the best choice and might even be needless effort. I am wondering, how do great people tackle this area of their life. If someone approaches them and they don't want to entertain that person, do they lie, or make an excuse? Or do they tell the truth? Either of these sound unlikely because Great people don't lie (am I right? Think about Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King etc. i can't imagine them lying) and wouldn't the truth hurt the other person and might even be unnecessary? How do they deal with this issue in their life beautifully, elegantly, honorably, gracefully, preserving their dignity, and the others. I am thinking, this is how they think. But how do they actually go about it.
