CONFLICT RESOLUTION

I have been thinking about conflicts lately because I have had so many of them catapulting at me. I think one must make a choice whenever he finds himslef confronted. "Is this worth a battle?"
The answer always for me is no. What will I win? All I will do is expend energy defending myself to deaf ears.
I often find people who have been selfish, cruel and self serving are the ones whose indignation is so immense that I am silenced. They walk off with whatever prize they think they have won and I feel violated because the result seems so unfair.
I have given this a lot of thought becauseI know that my reaction is what counts as far as the quality of my own life is concerned.
I know this will qualify me as a prime wimp but I have decided that if I can keep to my own path of self realization, my own integrity in the connections I make with others and my own moral code of right, wrong and the best course for me, I am ahead even when I lose money, lose face and am reviled.
Sounds Pollyanna but still I feel the less energy spent fighting losing causes even when they are just, the more energy will remain to move forward in life.
