The Better Choice

It’s easy to wonder through this life focusing on trivial things. You get angry over parking spaces, unintended glances, and unfortunate squabbles. You toil in earnest just to be right. But does any of it really matter?

Being right is not as important as you think. Most of the time your rightness is just your own opinion. Your opinion is not law. You are not the judge and jury. You do not get to crucify, execute, and demean others for the sake of an argument. 

Your thirst to be right can divide and fracture the infrastructure of your most prized relationships. If you sever the connection between you and your beloveds over a situation that you will not remember 3 years from now, will it be worth it?

Let go of the need to be correct. Agree to disagree. Peace is always the better choice.
