Still not completely recovered. Of course the storms are still happening. Not quite with the intensity of last Wednesday but we are still getting thunder storms. I do enjoy them when the trees are not toppling.
I have been struggling with sleep lately. I have not been sleeping well. Which is unusual when we are having storms. Not sleeping well is leaving me with a slightly upset stomach. So nothing sounds good to me. I decided to try the honey ginger drink that we got at the asian market a while back. Maybe it will help.
Chapter 12 of the book is titled Let Others Be "Right" Most of the Time. He starts the chaper of with the question "Do I want to be 'right' - or do I want to be happy" He says that many times the 2 are mutually exclusive.
This is something to really think about. Does it matter if someone has a differing belief than you? Does everyone have to agree with you? If they are misinformed is it worth correcting them and possibly embarrasing them?
Maybe it is just better to let sleeping dogs lie. Who is it going to hurt?
Don't get me wrong, there are some very real issues that you don't let slide. Racism should not be tolerated. I won't stand by and say nothing when someone is being racist. Child abuse, Child trafficking, or Child Porn can never be considered "right" These are all things that cannont ever be allowed to slide by on"personal" opinion.
But I am not going to debate religion with anyone. I am always willing to listen to your beliefs and share my beliefs if you want to know. I don't care if you believe that Tornadoes target trailer parks. I can choose to evacuate and you can stay put. It's all about picking your battles.
There are somethings that just don't affect you and there are somethings that affect everyone. Decide what it worth taking a stand on and let the rest go.
