Good luck to all! GL
Can it be called the greater good? I’m not sure. But, I decided that my ideologies (which are the polar opposite of my fiance’s) could be quieted down so that I may enjoy my engagement and future husband. This is not to say that they are supressed or inactive. Rather, I have learned to compromise more and see things from his side of the proverbial fence. What has resulted from this is a deeper relationship based on the foundation that although we are both unique individuals we are now also a strong force together. Also, I have come to question my own ideologies and have learned a thing or two about myself. Now that’s the greater good: challenging your own ideologies.
i put my differences with my 6yo son’s father aside last weekend when i arranged for them to meet for the first time ever, was difficult and painful, but the smile on my boy’s face and the endless talking happily about his dad have made it all more than worthwhile
Greater good, summed up by the tolerance of the mother-in-law. I love my husband to bits and he is a very loving son to his mum bless him but it had caused many problems in our household – im sure many will relate. My mother-in-law can be very opinionated and sometimes her opinions can rub everyone up the wrong way including spiteful comments if her feelings have been hurt. For the greater good I do not mention her if I can in our house and when we go to see her we chat and I smile, everyone’s happy especially hubby. I’m glad we put our differences aside not just for hubby’s sake but for our daughter too who can enjoy seeing Grandma too.
My dads wife, I put aside feelings so I can at least enjoy the time with my dad. She is controlling and knows how to get her way. I bite my tongue plenty. As long as my dad is happy is what matters.
Good Luck All.
Being Jewish, I find I am for ever putting aside my differences for the good of the cause. I find it much more healthy for me to just let others have their say, and agree, than to argue a never ending situation and become upset when it really doesn’t matter in the end. A particular instance is my holidays are not like others’ and far too often I am unable to have the time to enjoy because they don’t work into the “normal” schedule. So, I just go with the flow. I know what I am and how I feel, and that is a personal issue just for me. So if they can’t accept me and mine, then I feel I must be a bigger person and accept for them.
The greater good – I feel that putting aside the differences you may have with anyone will open up your relationship so that you are able to see the best qualities in them. Holding grudges makes you more bitter and blinds you from seeing that person. If the world could be more accepting of everyone’s differences we wouldn’t have war and wouldn’t lose our friends and family. I try to accept everyone. I try to ignores those that do not have positive comments about people. It helps me to be nice to all.
