If you must look at life as a war, at least pick what you fight for
Don’t fight a battle you don’t gain anything by winning. Erwin Rommel
There are causes worth fighting for.

Where there are people there will be conflict. Where there are words there will be misunderstandings. Where there are opinions there will be debates. We are human and we are different. And it’s only natural to differ, disagree or even fight.
There are things you can’t avoid, battles to fight, opinions and rights to defend.
And there are moments when you need to recognise that it’s time to walk away, you need to cut your losses and silence your ego, you need to protect your future by letting go of your past and making a compromise with your present.
In the middle of a conflict, all your senses are enhanced — it’s just your rational thinking that is missing. You need to stop and think and answer these questions to know if you need to keep fighting…
