while seeing amma she made the comment that those who give others the silent treatment and stick their nose up in the air actually have a form of mental illness. sometimes we wonder about ourselves when this treatment is given to us however we should realize that people do practice meanness and this kind of behavior is a result of being so wrapped up in ourselves and our ego that there is only one view; our own.

i think this was one of the most important bits of wisdom i heard Amma say and while searching for something here at the portal i came across it again. Kind people just don't treat others this way. We often have to come to the realization that we ourselves project kindness on others when in fact they may not be kind. When we come to the realization they are not; it baffles us.  Amma explains many human liabilities easily and often in a timely manner.
