A Gentle Answer.

Hi pleasant day, evening, night to all my family and friends at Wealthy Affiliate, a great big hearty shout out to Kyle and Carson hoping all is well with everyone.

This is Elodie Fleming shouting out from hot Trinidad and Tobago where we're preparing for the greatest show on earth and the seventh wonder of the world, T&T carnival. A midst the rising cases of Covid19, preparations are going at a fast pace.

This story is personal, so I choose to share it with you guys hoping for your feedback and thoughts. When someone disagrees with you, how do yor react, would you be tender without surrender as the saying goes?

Have you ever been mistreated, degraded, stepped on or ignored, it is a very disconsolate feeling, for everything you try to do to help people they don't seem to appreciate it.

Anger

You'll always meet people who like to be at variance with you, it seems as though this is a profound trait of theirs to provoke and anger people. How would you respond if you're in a situation like that.

This is where maturity steps in, you just ignore them for "Silence is golden or A still tongue keeps a wise head". Nothing infuriates someone when they feel belittled, they would do their best to retaliate in an offensive manner to get your reaction. When you try to reason with them or come to an amicable decision, they react with derogatory remarks.

What would you do, would you retreat in fear?

Choose peace

Many people including me choose the peaceful way out, they haven't developed the ability to respond in anger. If you're a peace at any rate person, it'll have hidden cost in your life's most important relationship.

Another response

You can choose to be angry, anger is a tell tale sign of insecurity because you feel unconfident and threatened by someone's disapproval.

It might be an indication that says you're about to loose some thing dear to you. Often it might be your job, it might be someone who is terminally ill or a situation that is totally out of your control. When these incidences crop up we tend to be sarcastic and castigate the other persons dignity.

Respond in Dignity

To avoid confrontation and aphorism, is best to communicate in gentleness. "A gentle answer quiets anger but harsh words stirs up rage". This is the kind of behavior that requires a fine balance between maitaining your right to your opinion, while equally respecting the other persons rights to their school of thought.

If you have ever found yourself in a precarious situation, where you had to make a personal choice in the absense of complete external evidence; you were forced to take a stand against your belief. How would see throught someone else's eyes without compromising your self.

Have a great evening. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
