Fights and arguments can be started by anyone. It takes the bigger man to walk away.
"It is an honor for a man to cease from strife and keep aloof from it, but every fool will be quarreling." Proverbs 20:3, Amplified
An honorable man ceases from strife. Not only the honorable man, but also the wise man. It is definitely within our human nature to fight and argue and quarrel. But the bigger man within can walk away and not become a part of these useless fights.
The foolish man will not walk away because because he does not see nor does he understand that he has that option. The foolish man is looking for the next fix of anything that he can get his hands on. He is looking for a rush of some sort. The foolish man needs a "feeling" to know that he is alive whereas the wise man needs only knowledge that he is alive. There will come a time for strife, but for now we must simply rest in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
