Chris Writing Anything

Some desire it, okay, most everybody wants it. Yet, sometimes, many times, it’s hard to obtain. I’m talking about peace and harmony. Whether greed…jealousy…pride, heck, just about any selfish emotion, when these feelings are tested, it may strain, fray or break human bonds. Today, in a short bit, I’ll tell you what I’ll let go of for the sake of a relationship.

Pride…I’ll let go of my pride. And I’m not saying I’m not a man of dignity. I’m proud of who I am, what I face and how I handle it. That doesn’t mean I’ll let a cheap shot bother me too much.

Not only am I able to handle petty insults, I don’t mind taking the backseat. Most of my life, and yes, I do desire better, but many times I end up last in line. Not complaining, okay, maybe I am a bit, but I’ll avoid trying to gain the upper hand, especially if I know the end result will be grief.

At the same time, in a blatant contradiction, my pride has been what ruined a relationship. Or, maybe, that wasn’t truly what ruined it, but, for the sake of my dignity, I had decided that the bond should be severed.

You may think that makes no sense, but sometimes I’ll swallow my pride. Yet, if pushed, one has to say enough is enough.

Have an excellent day!
