Take the high ground

Taking the high ground does not mean running away and hiding to the mountains.
It doesnt mean not fighting back, or not reacting.
It means being aware that you can see things that they dont see from where you are standing, and that from where they are standing they cant see the bigger picture.
It means taking the ground you have and not fighting for more, for something small and stupid.
It means letting things go, even if you know that you are right.
But not letting them go, saying nothing, letting them strike and walking away.
It means letting them know that they cannot strike at you, no matter how hard they try, and knowing that they will try, but that it wont affect you.
It means taking what crappy version of peace or sorry they offer, and walking away with it, even if its not enough, not because its okay, but because you know better than them, and because they cant do any better.
It doesnt mean forgiving them and letting them do it again.
It means letting it go and being aware for next time.
It means not pointlessly fighting a battle that you already know you have won, even if they still dont believe that they are losing, even if they are still fighting.
It means, not needing the shitty little piece of land that they have to offer, because you have everything you need, and walking away, without wanting for, or needing more from them.
Its about letting there be peace, even if they dont deserve it. Peace for yourself, because theres no point for anything else.
Stand your ground. Defend yourself. Fight for whats right. But when you do, always take the high ground.
