Be the bigger person



Life is a school and relationships most often serve as one of the courses of life's classroom. Most of us have, at one time or another, relationship difficulties with a boss, a colleague, a friend, a partner, a family member.

Most people know right from wrong but why don't they do the right thing? For that matter, prisons are full of people who understood the moral concepts but who didn't grasp the consequences.

I am not responsible for the weather because I cannot make it change. But, unless you have a rare disability, you can control your behaviour and responses. It is not necessarily easy to control our behaviours when we feel angry, afraid or depressed.

In these moments, I try my best to heed the recent advice of a wise man: "Be the bigger person."
