Recently I had another opportunity to practice personal interactions with others in another fashion. I had someone say something about me in front of 3 other people which was totally off base and just plain wrong. I had a great comeback in my mind that would have assured me I won that round. However, before I spoke I asked myself, “would I rather be right or happy?” You see in the past my reply to that question would have been “when I’m right I’m happy.” Restraint of tongue is a good thing. I don’t have to go to every fight I’m invited to. So as this person started to walk away I thought the best course of action is to just let it be and that’s what I did. I took the high road and had no regrets which in and of itself is a beautiful thing. Now trust me, nowhere in this message did I say it was easy for me to do it. I literally had to bite my tongue but the moment passed without a fight and that’s a good thing. Peace!
