And old dilemma returns

When should you be nice?
When should you prove a point?
When should you walk away?
When is it useful to fight the idea?

When should you play hard ball?

I've heard this before and I think there is something to it.
If your defending yourself you should walk away
If your defending someone stick around.

Some people talk for fear of hearing someone else talk.
Some people brag for fear of looking in the mirror.
Some people are busy for fear of listening to themselves.

"Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself."
Friedrich Nietzsche

I'm sure you've all seen it done
people debate a subject,
they talk allot,
when it's done nothings really changed,
and nobody really planned on it.
It teaches you to be confident in your ideas,
but that's about it.
Convincing somebody is done on a whole different level.

Maybe I'm stuck in my own world,
or maybe I'm to practical.
I have been accused of that.

"It is only by following your deepest instinct that you can lead a rich life, and if you let your fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, then your life will be safe, expedient and thin." Katharine Butler Hathaway

"Our doubts are traitors,
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt." William Shakespeare
just for you

"What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it." Krishnamurti

God lead us.
God bless us.
