Being the bigger person, some people get it and some people don't. I'm not trying to be the bigger person because I don't care enough about the situation. I'm not trying to be the bigger person because I don't think I have a good enough comeback to a remark. I'm not trying to be the bigger person because I'm scared of retaliation. Rather, I believe in being the bigger person becomes sometimes it's just not worth the fight.
No matter what the situation, or who is involved, being the bigger person is typically the better answer. It's not necessary to constantly "make mountains out of molehills", as the saying goes. Many times, there is no particular need to drag a situation out. The quickest solution tends to involve someone deciding to be the bigger person and let go of the situation.
Big or small, the situation is not worth your time. It's not worth the fight, stress, yelling, tears, or any combination of them. Being the bigger person does not, in any way, shape, or form, mean that you have to show vulnerability. You are simply removing yourself from the situation because it is not worth your time. If somebody has a problem with that, than they are acting childish, and you should continue to be the bigger person and like in Disney's "Frozen," just let it go.
People will respect your decision to move past the situation. You will receive respect based upon your actions to not further the problem. I will forever do my best to be the bigger person and look at all angles of a situation, because in reality, I wouldn't want to be the person on the other side of the retaliation, even if I was doing some damage also. Moral of the story, if you even have to think about it, just get over it and be the bigger person.
It's not worth your time, trust me.
