it is better to let yourself be wronged

[eyeagainsteye]

Causing a lot of turmoil and anguish for me mentally I have been trying to get a large amount of money out of someone that has been owed to me for about 4 months..Today, I have decided to put it to rest..I dont care if I ever get it..it is just not worth what it puts me through mentally and this is the council that helped me put it to rest.




The Apostle Paul says:

Really, then, it means altogether a defeat for you that you are having lawsuits with one another. Why do you not rather let yourselves be wronged? Why do you not rather let yourselves be defrauded?

Ugh. I just went through some of that myself.

Yeah, there's a point where stress of it out weighs what is owed and you gotta let go. I find myself getting really bitter if I don't. Chalk one up for experience and move on to a new day.

Alot of times, I let it go, modtly because I get stoned and forget. I dont let anyone borrow large amounts of money except for my sister and if she doesnt pay me back, Its no biggie. I let friends borrow a few dollars here and there, and Ive yet to deal with them not returning the favor.
Money isnt a big thing to me. Ya have it, and then you dont, and you get more if you deserve it, and if you dont get it, ya make do.

I only have one person who hasnt payed in full for some work....its only $215...since last summer..I let it be a long time ago...if he decides to pay then thats alright...and if no then thats on him...he drives by me all the time too....next time he wants anything done I will just say Im too busy and tell him to go to a garage...if he dares to ask :cool:
