Do you know anyone who has a streak of meanness in them?
There are some individuals, in fact, who - although I wouldn't label them as "bad" - yet possess the capacity of hurting the feelings of others in a way that at times can be subtle, at other times more evident. Whenever they have a problem with a friend, a colleague or a relative, they instinctively know where to "hit". They are aware of their interlocutor's Achilles' heel (=weakness) and do not hesitate to throw their "arrow" right on that spot.
You don't have too many ways to defend yourself against such attacks, unless you decide to do the same. Are you willing to become mean yourself and retaliate, or do you prefer to choose the harder path of indifference or (if you are a saint) of forgiveness?
