Interesting thought
Can you avoid contention? Or do you feel its unavoidable? If you think contention is unavoidable, how so? It's nothing written or unwritten that says contention is to be entertained under any circumstances. Yet more times than not, we allow ourselves to somehow get lured into unsavory situations that require very little intellect to execute buffoonery. Please understand, dealing with people whom are intellectually inept, is not a sin. However, allowing ones self to be overtaken by one, renders questionable character issues in allowing it.
