Submissive Free-Fall or Acerbic Lashing?

As human beings, the majority of us have inherent, innate qualities that make us respectful, courteous, gracious, humble, and even meek at times. But the mind and soul are a cosmic, vast array of emotions, and each day provides a new constellation of moods, temperament and a buffet of unique dispositions.

Conflict is a by-product of something unintended that has ruffled feathers somewhere along the line. How do we deal with conflict? How do we deal with stress? Do we come out swinging? Do we roll into a submissive free-fall? Do we use an acerbic tongue to lash out and persuade ourselves that we’re the only champions of our cause? Is it worth the fight?

It would be a slice of heaven to automate the perfect emotion and response to each bump in the road we incur.

In the end, after life has been temporarily disrupted, it will continue on. The sun will rise and set, the band will march on, the road continues, and life will attain normalcy. It takes some patience to get through the perfect storm, but the shore is always in sight. How we deal with it determines our outlook. I refuse to have my joy stolen from me. I will always continue to sail, regardless of what life throws at me.
