I don't like to fight. I don't like argumentative disagreements. I am not opposed to disagreement, just the kind where the two sides get angry at instead of interested in the other person's point of view. I don't like bad feelings and I will do whatever it takes to smooth things over in most situations. I am a peacemaker. I am not ashamed of that nor do I feel the need to change when I am accused of running away from or avoiding a fight. That is often exactly what I am doing. Because the people who are going to accuse me of that are the same people who aren't really going to listen to or respect what I am saying anyway. Why waste my breath? That doesn't make me a coward. That makes me smart enough to choose my battles.
