🏛️ Stoic Quote

Don't argue with people nor insist on showing them truth. Maybe it is you who needs to change your mind. Even if you are right you only incur resentment by trying to correct others. - @TheAncientSage

In modern life, instead of engaging in heated debates with co-workers about politics, focus on understanding their perspective or redirect the conversation to a neutral topic. For example, if a colleague expresses a different view on a project, rather than insisting on your approach, take a moment to consider their perspective and find common ground for collaboration. This not only fosters better relationships but also allows for a more harmonious work environment.

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:1 encourages responding with gentleness and understanding, which aligns with the Stoic wisdom of not engaging in unnecessary arguments and trying to understand others' perspectives. By choosing a soft answer over a harsh word, we can foster peace and harmony in our interactions and relationships.
