There are many kinds of trouble makers in our lives.
People, work relationships, & even circumstances all
can sometimes bring trouble. But, we have a choice.
We can decide when trouble makers are really worth
our time and effort. If you fight a trouble maker in the
work place and win, what have you truly accomplished
in the long term?
However, if you alternatively choose to avoid trouble
makers or even decide to forgive that person, you may
ultimately save yourself from pointless conflict.
Much conflict in this world is little more than a game of
pride. People wanting to win for the sake of winning as
if it is really some sort of game.
But, what if we don't play the game.
We save ourselves stress, anger, frustration, lost time,
hurt feelings, & broken relationships.
Those who are wise avoid conflicts that have no constructive
purpose or opportunity to demonstrate the same kind of
love and forgiveness God showed the world.
"Pride leads to conflict;
those who take advice are wise."
Proverbs 13:10
