Whatever; you are mulling over in your mind-Is it worth hurting someone's feelings to prove you are right? Sometimes, Maybe, Sometimes Maybe not. If we ask ourselves will this matter 10 years from now (or how important is it) we may come away from a situation w/a new perspective. Of course somtimes the answer to that question is: very important. Should I compromise a principle to gain a short term goal-no.


It is just a good thing to meditate on...If my hubby is a nine of 10 on my list of good things about a man, can I lighten up if he forget's our anniversary once?
How important is it in the grand scheme of things? Am I making sense?

i try not to hurt anyones feelings as it gains nothing and only causes pain. when someone forgets an aniiversary that is painful in itself and should be handled with kindness and grace. sometimes life gets so full and we get distracted but if it were to happen year after year then one would tend to blow.i think it is more important to love one another and treat one another with respect and gentle kindness and patience.

You are once again spot on! In fact when I posed the question for meditation I probably should have amplified it by saying this is a tool one can use to lessen undesired emotions or to stregthen and encourage conviction. It helps me not to take things too personally or to stand when I need to w/o fear of what others may/may not think or say. So when something is bothering me I say "how important is it", it's
a decision guage that helps me with "counting the cost" of my actions/deeds.

There's a good meditation: Count the Cost..

I have a sign on my office door that says:

"You only get three choices in life; Give In, Give Up or Give it all you've got."

I often find myself explaning the quote as: in a given situation any of the three may be the best of the 3, depending on the circumstance-but any any event-GIVE
preceeds all the answers (deeper than Blake if you think about it)
