APAD: Never wrestle with pigs.

最西边的岛上 2024-02-18 06:38:18 ( reads)

"Never wrestle with pigs. You both get dirty and the pig likes it."  

—  George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Meaning: 
Don't engage in a fight with an opponent who enjoys and/or benefits from the fight even without winning it.

"Positive energy is much more powerful than negative energy. If you stay positive, the negativity can't touch you."  - Jon Gordon

现实生活的纠葛可以理解。网络上没必要。不过是虚浮的荣耀。只要存心谦卑，各人看别人比自己强。
