The Bigger Person

ode to be the bigger person to see the stupidity in another’s ways & to decide on the route of complete indifference before giving them the satisfaction of getting into a little spat which might drain precious seconds, hours, days, weeks, months & unfortunately for some, years, from one’s life. ode to the bigger person who looks in the eyes of the mundane & sees that the kick that will be granted them from simply staying in the ring without any cause but to fight for the sake, to dig & dig & dig with no real motive beyond self-gratification & no evidence of any reason for the skirmish to begin with, will simply thrill them to no end & to halt it all with one clean swoop, ignoring the pleas for conflict & ignoring the need for attention. ode to the bigger person who when walking away from an idiot who will not stop needling, simply chalks it up to experience & takes pride in their own actions, for the bigger person knows that their own personal high ground is one that cannot be shaken & with each moronic conflict averted comes a strength great enough to keep on through the infinite struggle.
