Someone asked a question the other day. If
you are close to two people and they fall out with each other over an issue,
whose side would you take? A loaded question for sure. A tough one, too ideally,
everyone would like to maintain both relationships. And why not, since you were
never the involved party. Why do you have to be torn between the two anyway, right?
But there it is. Sometimes, there WILL be a
tug of war and then? If you gave the courage, you should be on the side of what
is right, and not the person involved.
But, right might be what appears to each
person as a different perspective. When both people think they are right, what
happens then? We invariably become fence sitters in the name of tact and
diplomacy. The thought being," I don't want to spoil my relationships. Let
them work
It’s out. It may not always be that simple
when people are expecting you to take sides.
In life, there will be cases such as these
or some others, where people may go away from you. And prefer to stay away for
no fault of yours. It is okay. It doesn't matter. It is not your business to
worry about the why's and how's. A clear conscience is the only yardstick we
should use. And after that, let people stay if they will and let go if they
won't. There will always be a soul connection.
