We all make choices everyday; some of the most dangerous choices we make are when we do not choose consciously. So I will ask you one question:
Do you cause dissension in the world?
Are you the kind of person who leaves a room with everyone in it feeling worse than when you came in? When someone makes a comment, do you have to contradict? Even when it's about something silly? (i.e. "It's supposed to rain today." you: "I didn't hear that. I heard it was supposed to be nice today.")
Do you have to "one-up"? ("I'm so happy; I finally won fifty dollars after buying a lottery ticket every day this week." you: " Oh, last year I won a thousand dollars on one lottery ticket!"
Do you walk in a room and announce that you are in a bad mood?
Does your tone of voice, even about ordinary subjects, have a tone of challenge in it?
If any of these scenarios fit you, you are not making the world a happier place; you are likely causing dissension.
Note: I am not talking about the times you have to argue a point, stand up for yourself, or defend someone who needs your help. I am talking about those times when what is under discussion is usually inconsequential.
Make a choice today NOT to cause dissension wherever you go.
