While most idols usually choose to ignore the hatemail they receive on the internet,�KARA's leader Gyuri decided to calmly fire back at anti-fans on Twitter today with a wise anecdote about the Buddha.
Just hours before, the idol tweeted a few posts in response to the negative messages that she received on the social media site.
"I can't understand what goes on in the heads of people who throw a mention at me, and put words that they know I would dislike just for fun. They say it's just a joke, but they never think twice about what it feels like on the receiving end, are their thoughts that immature[?] What kind of response is it that they want to see from me?
Religion is not unrelated to today's story - this happened when the Buddha was alive. One day, a gangster man went to the Buddha and cursed at him. But [the Buddha] seemed to not mind.
Instead he continued, 'Whenever a customer comes in, the server would give the customer food... if the customer doesn't accept it, who does it belong to?'�The man replied, 'Of course, it's mine again.'
Then the Buddha spoke softly, 'In the same way, you hurl insults at me, but I don't receive them. They still remain with you.' The man knelt down and prayed to the Buddha."
Gyuri concluded her series of tweets with a direct message toward the anti-fans at hand.
"If I say or write other negative things ... it makes me carry hearts filled with these unhappy moments; instead of happiness, I would absorb the misery and waste my time with such people.�There is someone who probably had an unhappy time today, but for me, I lived my life to the fullest even today, so I'm going to take a deep rest!
I will give back in double to my family and those that have faith and love for me.�In the spirit of sharing good things with others hehe we did well today too good night!"
We've gotta give it to Gyuri for giving such a calm retort. It's awesome to see idols put down haters and remain inspiring at the same time!
