Life is tough. Nobody takes the high road all the time. But you can find yourself on it more and more. You know what the high road is. When you’re feeling good, nothing fazes you. You respond with a sense of humor. You know what the low road is, too. It’s when your fuse is so short that you feel justified in your antagonistic responses or when you insist on being right.
Sure, you're reacting to another person's behavior. That doesn’t mean there aren’t reasons to get upset, but there are far fewer reasons than you think. It means that what upsets you might make another person smile or shrug. It means that when we're on the high road, not much upsets us. By contrast, when we're on the low road, everything upsets us. Take the high road and don't respond when you feel provoked. It's taking the fun out of this forum chat for me.
