“It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel.”
—Proverbs 20:3
Some might consider a person who backs away from confrontation a coward. The Proverbs say he is worthy of honor. To back away may actually be the brave thing to do.
Instead of striving with each other, let us strive to be of the same mind as the Sinless One who, “when he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly”.
