Protect your peace.

I was reminded of the story of the Tiger and the Monkey.
One day, the Monkey insisted that the grass was blue, while the Tiger firmly maintained that it was green. Their argument became so intense that they decided to bring the matter before the King Lion for judgment.
After listening to both sides, the King Lion declared that the Monkey was right and sentenced the Tiger to remain silent for five years.
Confused, the Tiger asked, "Your Majesty, why am I being punished when the grass is clearly green?"
The King Lion replied, "You are not being punished because you were wrong. You are being punished because you chose to waste your time arguing with someone who refuses to recognize the truth. Some people are so committed to their own beliefs that no amount of evidence or reason will change their minds. Arguing with them only drains your time, energy, and peace of mind."
Moral of the story: Not every argument deserves your attention. Wisdom is knowing when to speak, when to remain silent, and when to walk away. Protect your peace by choosing your battles wisely. 🤔POV
