i am not a combative person. i prefer to walk away from any kind of confrontation rather than stir the pot. but as with most things, there is an exception. if i am faced with a situation i believe to be wrong, you will not find me on the sidelines.
when my passionate side shows, this often shocks those on the receiving end. normally calm and collected, i guess it's not expected for me to put up a fight. but if i really believe in something, i will stand up for it and will not back down.
i am not talking about disagreements, because we all have those. i mean those times when we have a choice between saying nothing or doing something, to go with what we innately feel is right and true. and even though i know that i can get myself into some uncomfortable situations by doing this, there is no hesitation.
i know someone who shares this trait: my husband. granted, he is much more outspoken than i am and has many a time put his own foot in his mouth, but i can trust that he'll never compromise what he thinks is good and honorable. and i love him for that.
if you were stuck between letting something slide or speaking up, what would you do?
