Hey guys, happy Thursday. It's almost Fri-yay-yay. Um, and also it's, um, that time of the month where some of y'all is getting a check, so also congratulations for that. Um, so something that's been on my mind is being the bigger person overrated. Because, you know, sometimes I think, you know, I gotta let the person know what time it is, right? I gotta be a little petty. I gotta let them know that kindness is a choice. But another part of me is like, that's so heavy, right? Carrying that all around. And what did they say about revenge? Um, if you're gonna build a grave, um, make sure you build two of them. As a dish, best served cold. Um, and pettiness and back and forth and that like bar for bar stuff feels very hot. Yeah? So let me know what you think.
It can take a lot to walk away from something that's challenging or really upsets you, but often times letting cool heads prevail is the best mode of action, and then you can go back to talk about it when people's emotions have sort of calmed down so that they can actually receive what you're trying to say. Peace and blessings, planet Venus.
Good afternoon, Planet Venus, shout out to you, I think this is an excellent question. Is being the bigger person or taking the higher ground overrated? I think in most situations, being the bigger person does not make it overrated. I think if anything that's choosing to walk away from something that in reality has a detriment to us, personally, I will extend my answer the next comment.
Because most situations in theory, a lot of the time tend to be pretty petty, and it's not worth going into semantics over it, because it'll cost us more of our own mental health and wellness versus, you know, just letting it go and moving on, letting it slide off our backs. But I do want to say something to this on the flip side.
I think there are certain situations where it's serious enough to not take the higher ground, to take a stand and essentially fight back. You know, whether that's through the legal system, which I would recommend going through the legal system, so you don't get in trouble, you know what I mean? But, you know, I think there are certain situations that being the bigger person is not the answer.
Serious enough situations, sometimes there's a psychopath involved, and it doesn't matter if the person takes the higher road or not, that psychopath will continue their abuse. And I think in those situations, it does take action, you know, for a person to cause a psychopath to leave them alone through the legal system, where in theory the laws actually work and people do their job.
So I definitely think that there is a time and a place where being the bigger person or taking the higher road is necessary and should be applicated, right, to the situation. However, I think on the flip side, there are certain situations that when someone chooses to take the higher ground could actually put them in danger. So action is needed for protection.
