Simplified Meaning:
Trying to change the minds of people who already dislike you or criticize you is often a waste of time and energy. Some people just enjoy being negative or are set in their ways. It's like trying to teach a stubborn mule to understand your feelings; it's not going to work and will just frustrate you. Instead, it's better to focus on the positive people who support and appreciate you. For example, imagine you create a piece of art and some people criticize it harshly without good reason. Instead of arguing with them, you could spend your time improving your skills and sharing your work with those who understand and value it. This approach helps you grow and keeps you happier.
