For days, no weeks now, this song keeps going through my mind. Probably because so many people I’ve talked to lately have conflicts going on in their lives. Most are disagreements over choices made in the past that another doesn’t agree with. So this song pops into my head, don’t remember who sang it, but these words seem to sum things up:
There ain’t no good guys
There ain’t no bad guys
There’s only you and me
And we just disagree.
And you know what? It’s really okay to have a different opinion, a different way of looking at the same situation.
When I find myself in a discussion over a choice I made, I understand you may not see it my way. I understand you might totally disagree with my way of thinking. But I’m still entitled to my point of view. As are you.
That doesn’t make you right. It doesn’t make me wrong. It doesn’t really matter. The past cannot be changed.
Would I make the same choice now with the perspective and understanding I have now? Maybe not. But maybe I would. So I accept the choice and the consequences and move on. It really is the only choice there is.
Agree to disagree. Life changes. Life flows. Life is constantly moving. Getting stuck on one issue inhibits your flow, builds a dam, and breaks down growth.
Agree to disagree.
And really mean it.
