We both keep quiet. Again.Today just seems like a day for it. It’s easier that way. You don’t have to say things you don’t want to say because once the words are out, you’ll have to confront them. Confront your insecurities. Confront your fears. Confront yourself. I think that one, the last one, is the hardest.Anna B. Doe
About This Quote
The idea of letting things slide is to avoid confrontation. We can understand the desire to not have to deal with things that are uncomfortable, but it can lead to more problems than they solve. If we don't confront our own fears and insecurities, they will often follow us around and become bigger than what they were before. When that happens, you then have to confront yourself.
This is harder because it feels like you are the one who is wrong. We know this isn't true because we are all human and we all make mistakes from time to time. The idea is that if we let things slide, however, they will grow until they become too large or impossible to handle.
In order for change to be made, we have to deal with the problems that follow us around no matter how small they may be.
