All evil and lies come from the father of lies, the Devil. He influences minds the same way he manipulated Eve to distrust and disobey God in the garden.
The devil influences people to be against one another through jealous thoughts and destructive ideas about self that promote self-exaltation.
In all human interactions that are destructive, the devil is involved in influencing thoughts and feelings. When someone lives their life generated by feelings they are controlled by the devil.
Feelings deceive us, lie to us, and cause wrong reactions if we are not controlled by the Holy Spirit.
God never said; "trust your feelings", He told us to trust His Truth. Using our mind to discover the truth is the only way to live above our feelings.
Those who are self-absorbed and live on the plain of feelings do not understand the need to evaluate things to discover the truth. They are empathy-impaired people who continually justify rude actions. Because they cannot admit their own flaws they will have to blame others, accusing them of things that belong to the rude person but do not belong to the one they accuse.
The devil is the father of lies, he is continually excusing sin and accusing believers of things he is doing and the believers are not doing.
Those who are bullies and narcissists are completely controlled by the devil and don't know it. In a way it is futile to become angry, it does not change the bullies and will only cause harm to our souls.
The best thing to do is to remove ourselves, make no responses, and leave with a clear conscience, clean, absent of any rudeness.
