Wanna Fight?

Like it or not, we all fight, we all struggle with various aspects of life, only we don't call it "fighting" we call it "struggling,   striving,  challenging,  opposing,  disagreeing,  surviving,  withstanding" or any other number of things. Even if we aren't fighting with someone else, we constantly fight with ourselves, trying to "improve" things. I don't think any of us always agree with one another, we all have our opinions, and then there's the alarm clock. How many of us hit the "snooze" button? I'm pretty sure we all do that on occasion. Yet in spite of all the daily "fights" I have, I call myself a peace-loving person. I feel that if I leave my emotions out of a disagreement, I can express myself without malice and not hurt the other person's feelings.  We don't have to agree on everything, but we can agree to disagree on things. War is just another ugly fight because large amounts of people can't agree on something, or it's retaliation for something that some other group did to the other party. I know that talking things out doesn't always work, and that "agreeing to disagree" isn't always practical, and that silence does kill. What can I do about this? In the global sense, not too much, but right here, right now, I can smile and offer help if possible, and if all else fails,  try a little kindness. Talk softly, be gentle, or just walk away.
