Overlook

Proverbs 12:16
“A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.”

It’s not easy overlooking an insult. It’s more satisfying being offended and showing everyone our annoyance. But that’s what fools do. A wise man knows that an insult does not change or define him, so he lets it go. He holds no records of wrong, and he loves the insulter.
