It was a great moment when a large statue of Christ was erected high in the Andes on the border between Argentina and Chile. Called the “Christ of the Andes” the statue symbolized a pledge between the two countries that as long as the statue stood, there would be peace between these two countries.
However, the human spirit is not always open to the ways of peace and argument stands always ready to enter any arrangement.
Soon, the Chileans began to complain that they had been slighted…the statue had its back turned to Chile.
Just when tempers were truly getting out of hand a Chilean newspaperman saved the day.
In an editorial he suggested that the people of Argentina needed more watching over than the Chileans.
Sometimes all that is need to defuse a situation is a sense of humor.
But whatever is needed…so many arguments are so very foolish and simply add to the number of enlivened fools lining up to earn their place in line…
Be …I say to you…and I say to me…consider what it is we argue about and why and when and then decide that it is most often a terrible waste of time and effort and common sense.
If you are in the middle of an ongoing argument? If you opponent will not do…then you do it…leave an opening where he or she can gracefully escape while saving face….and yes…in the process getting that frown off both of your faces.
Or consider the following poetic thought
A horse can't pull while kicking.
This fact we merely mention.
And he can't kick while pulling,
Which is our chief contention.
Let's imitate the good old horse
And lead a life that's fitting;
Just pull an honest load, and then
There'll be no time for kicking.

A quote below from tomorrow’s ONE A DAY blog entitled YOU CALLED THEM STUPID…NOW EVERYONE FEELS BETTER
Stupid/dumb (The Bible uses the word "foolish") comes easily to all of us…so before we call someone stupid perhaps we should consider some of the stupid/dumb things folk have done in the Bible…and after reading the following be a little more patient with stupidity.
Remember?
How Adam knew better but went out and ate the fruit anyway.
And Sampson made the decision to tell Delilah the secret of his strength.
And Lot’s wife just had to look back at Sodom and Gommorah and turned into a pillar of salt.
