It’s not easy, as we all have a tendency to want to defend or lash out from time to time. It seems to be that our general nature is to be confrontational. We feel that if we aren’t standing up for something we are nothing more than a doormat for others. But, I think it’s important to look at what the real goal is for any confrontation. Will it ultimately increase the serenity of the mind, or is it nothing more than conflict for the sake of conflict. Sometimes, it’s best to let something go simply because the ultimate result is not peace of mind…but conflict merely to prove one is right..in an argument where there is no right.
