But from what I experienced, I can conclude that people's opinion doesn't really matter. It used to be a bother for me, but not really anymore. I would do a self check and take something good from it, then the end of it. Because I realized, people can talk about anything they want, good or bad, it's our decision.
Every person has their own bad and good side, no one is perfect, we all know that. There was a saying, I forget how it was exactly said, but it said, no matter how good you are, people going to see you as deep as they see themselves. They way they value others, reflects the way they value themselves.
I think people's opinion of us is a matter of their choice. If they want to see the bad of us, then they will always find one, and vice versa. Don't you think so ? When people talk good about us, how do I say to this...umm....sometimes I see it more like, it is their power / greatness / kindness / that they want and able to see the good thing in us. And when people perceive us in a bad way, then like what I said, there will always be one, two, three and more. It never stops as it's more easy than looking the good in oneself.
Also when people spread rumors, it is up to us wether we directly believe it or we have to do some search of the whole story. I believe wise people tend to have lot of consideration, they are not easily driven by others' opinion, they eager to know the whole story and various perspective.
There will always be good and bad side of a story, and also it's up to us wether we want to do some review and take something to learn from the story or just talk about it and get nothing. Smart people know which to choose.
So yep! I see many people these days don't really think deeply about what they are going to say, they just say anything. But I hope we are that kind of people whom always careful about what we are going to say. I hope that we are aware that everything we say can affect people's life, so we better say good thing ( talk wisely ) rather than hate speech, etc.
People's opinion is important for me when it being said privately, and they have a clear intention of what they say in constructive words. Other than that, I don't want to bother.
