Encouraging words of wisdom

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...

And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love.”

—Bible (I Corinthians 13:4-7, 13)

Stop Arguing With A Fool


     There was a time in my life when my ex-husband use to call me and start a fight.  He always knew what to say to get under my skin.  In essence he stole my peace and worst than that I let him.  There was this saying that goes “never argue with a fool.”  Do you know why?  Because you can’t tell which one is the fool; so true.  So what I decided to do was to ignore him.  I would let him say what he had to say and I wouldn't say a word.  It took his power away.  In fact, afterwards, he didn't know how to take me.  His harassing phone calls eventually stopped.  Most of the time when he called I didn't answer the phone and when I did talk to him it would always be brief then I would pass the phone on to our daughter.  I couldn't stop him from calling my house because we had a child together but I could control his access to me.  I realized that I was contributing to the problem.  My advice for today is Stop Arguing with a fool, just smile and keep it moving.  Eventually they will get your message.
