Whether there's a war in your house, neighborhood or abroad, there always seems to be strife in the world. There are people that seem to be good at fighting, and those that shrink away from it. I try to steer clear because if I engage, I will most likely be the absolute worst version of myself. Afterward, I'll regret every mean thing I say and do. My college friends nicknamed the angry KG, "raGe Kage." Not terribly flattering. The raGe Kage only comes out about once a year. But it is one time too many.
Considering how I struggle to keep myself in check, I find it impressive that two entities which in theory should be bitter enemies make peace work so well. I read this blog post about a Jewish Kibbutz and an Arab Village peacefully coexisting for 50 years in Israel. I was amazed. If they can do it, can't I try to maintain the peace where necessary in my life ?
