The above was the affirmation on my calendar for today. 'I am willing to release the need to be right.' That is a pretty big challenge for me. I have spent a lot of time in my books over the years so I consider myself pretty well informed on lots of This n That. But I guess being right all the time isn't everything. The depiction of this knight and all the swords he has collected or won off of others in battles and tournaments is a bit sorrowful and definitely lonely. For today if I am confronted with another I will give the challenge a pass, and go along my merry way. Who needs another sword anyway!

I'm trying to allow people to have their own version of truth; I only engage when they try to force their's upon me.
ReplyDeleteThat is very good advice.
DeleteOn whose part does the idea of confrontation arise? It isn't a normal part of day to day life for the average working stiff.
ReplyDeleteI have had two co-workers that triggered the confrontation mode. absolutely couldn't stand their attitudes, work practices, viewpoints. Oddly enough I liked both of them in off work mode.
Oh to have had only two that triggered confrontation mode.
