In her graphic memoir "Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood," Marjane Satrapi offers a poignant piece of advice about dealing with difficult people. She acknowledges that throughout life, one will encounter various individuals who can be unkind or hurtful. However, she emphasizes that their actions often stem from ignorance rather than any reflection of your worth.

Satrapi encourages readers to respond to cruelty with dignity and not to fall into the traps of bitterness or revenge. By maintaining self-respect and authenticity, one can navigate life’s challenges more gracefully and avoid being consumed by negativity.
