DAY 82
To Keep from Strife Is Honor
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
כָּבוֹד לָאִישׁ שֶׁבֶת מֵרִיב וְכָל־אֱוִיל יִתְגַּלָּע
📜 THE VERSE
It is an honor to keep away from strife, but every fool is quick to quarrel.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Needing to win, am I stepping into fights I never had to join?
📝Reflection
There was a time I had to win to feel settled. Yet looking back on the wins, most were fights that cost more than they gained. This verse calls keeping away from strife an honor. Stepping back is not losing but the discernment to see what is not worth fighting. The strength to pass by a fight you need not join — that is a grown person's bearing.
