the battles we take on

There are some battles that are worth fighting for. And there are some that are not.

In this world where conflicts are proximate to us, we have to discern wisely which among them should we throw down and out. We should carefully choose our own battles. If we think one battle would challenge us and this would turn our self out to be a good one, that is the time that we proceed. But battles that are meaningless and trivial should not be given attention as they would only ruin our sanity and stability.

But how do we know which battle should we face?

“You don’t win battles with hate. Anger and hate can make you brave, make you strong, but they also make you stupid. You end up tripping over your own two feet.” Truly, this quote from Michael J. Sullivan in his book Theft of Swords implies which battles we should take on.

Sometimes in our battles, it is not a question of why we step back. It is about stepping forward behind hate and anger.
