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.
