Media Free Diaspora: Make Peace Not Big Yikes

Have Courage–Be Kind

I wrote this 2016 February 05. It still holds!

My position:
* It is better to create allies than to make enemies.
* It is better to educate than to argue.
* If someone is genuinely intractable, do not waste energy on them...just walk away.
* If someone is causing genuine harm, do your best to get out of their way and/or stop them.

I find these are mature skills worth developing. There will be times when I can be tired, stressed, or something is simply a hot button and these points are forgotten. Eventually I recognise that it is time to stop. I apologise if need be. I do my best to learn from the experience and move on. For the last one, it's okay to be scared. Seek help or at least support.
