RE: Think like a Viking: Part thirty two

Everyone has an opinion and wants to voice it and with the rise of the interwebs and social medias it seems that many people get involved with situations, battles, that are none of their business, don't relate to them in the least bit and, in the grand scheme of things, have literally no real impact or value in their lives at all. But there they are, drawn into the situation, and often getting upset about it needlessly.

I think one of the biggest mistakes our society makes is in the belief that just because you have an opinion that the opinion is right...lolol We have also fallen prey to the falsehood that if you disagree with someone you must dislike, oppose, or hate them and nothing could be further from the truth.

The pain of surviving far too many battles literal and figurative has given me the gift of a small amount of wisdom related to knowing when and where to fight. I am much for likely to walk away from a situation than I was in my youth and I'm glad I've evolved enough to have the strength to walk away when I can. Violence is usually far to easy an option compared to walking away. Of course, when pushed let the elbows fly lolololol

Although I won't suffer a bully for an instant and most of my confrontations today stem from abuses being leveled at the weaker than being directed at myself. I'm always a work in progress and there are situations that I can still be baited into if I'm entertaining the wrong demeanor that day, but I strive to do better than I did yesterday.

Of course, I love a little CCTV feed of you and that guy had he decided bowing up was the wiser option!!!! lololol

You're right about the opinion thing and the so battle/walk away matter as well. People get incensed about the ridiculous and let the important things slide. It's all turned around these days.

I'm much the same as you, I don't like applying violence and will avoid it...But am good at it if and when there's a need. I feel that's a good balance. Knowing when to walk and when to take other appropriate action is a skill. Unfortunately people don't have that much in real life or social media.
