Want To Avoid Drama?


Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. 24 And the Lord's servant[e] must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth,

This is why I now stay out of talks (unless with close, trusted friends/family) that have little value other than the spewing of personal opinions/beliefs/convictions. It seems peaceful when I believe what I want and act accordingly to those beliefs, letting others do the same. I've learned this from having dramatic moments with others which proved to be not only stressful but hurtful to myself and others.

If you experience drama or strife, it's most likely because you are putting yourself right in the center of it, stirring the proverbial shit. We are never really a victim in these situations, we are seeking it out. Why do we seek this out? Most likely because it gives some relief/outlet of suppressed emotional issues that we'd rather not deal with.

Get down the the nitty gritty of what's really bothering you inside, because it's not the surface, trivial things you are fighting about.

Spread peace and love,
