We live in a sloppy world. Lack of integrity abounds, as does lack of reason and common sense. We are all limited to a certain extent, and imposed upon by rules and regulations that we don't necessarily agree with. But most of them are enforceable nonetheless, and if we want to participate, we have to find a way to get along.
Being right may not be as important as being at peace. We have to consider our actions carefully when we are feeling oppositional. Do we want to speak our truth and then leave it alone, or take a stand and fight to the death? We have to pick our battles with care, and be honest about the real cost of things.
I think before I fight, and make sure I'm willing to pay the price of contention before I engage.
