Through life’s experiences you learn that some things are better left unsaid.
Those who fully embrace and incorporate meekness in their day to day lives, come to the realization that some battles are not worth fighting. In fact sometimes fighting is literally NOT FIGHTING! Meekness conflicts with our will especially when the desire is to take matters into our own hands. It reminds me of the immediate fix that feels good in the moment, but leaves a distasteful after mass later.
I often wonder if it’s really worth the self-gratification. Do we really realize the impact of our poor reactions verbally and sometimes physically? The road rage after someone cuts us off & instead of continuing onto our destination, we give way to the curse words. We may also allow the physical confrontation with our competitor ending with an undesirable outcome of some things better left unsaid…….
More disheartening cases like arguing with individuals regarding pointless matters, trying to prove points when there’s no desire to get an understanding, wasting timeless energy defending oneself to an end result of more frustration, growing resentment and poisoned bitterness.
It’s quite sad when I think of the instant gratification we feel with our fleshly responses when one has hurt us. Our thoughts of payback, desiring to aim for the heart of another, with the same or worse acts of cruelty.
My questions are, Is it really worth the timeless energy to keep up with the tit for tats; is it really worth the endless cycle of justification knowing there’s no excuse for such behavior? I sometimes wonder who we are trying to fool. I wonder what we are trying to prove. I wonder if we truly realize just how catastrophic the results of impure motives can be, and the fact of what we do and say can result in life or death.
Allot of us tell on ourselves and reveal just how much self is in the way, by our choice of verbiage and or actions. Do we matter that much to kill the spirit of others because of what we are going through. Are we justified taking the life of another behind stupendous views of being disrespected? Do we have that much to prove for the stroking of our ego’s that we are willing to expose the faults and imperfections of others. Do we really have to cut out the heart of another behind the wrong we’ve experienced from someone else, do we really have to have the last word knowing it may be our last word. So many things I’ve experienced personally down through the years from childhood to adulthood and I’ve learned these simple words: “SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID”.
