Family dinner. Someone says something you disagree with.
The counter-argument rises. Ready.
You could say it.
You might even be right.
But right and worth it are not the same thing.
Some conversations are invitations to drain yourself.
To trade warmth for a verdict no one asked for.
You can hold your position without holding court.
The table stays full when you let small things pass.
Not because they don't matter.
Because the people do.
Being right is easy.
Being close is harder.
Pick accordingly.
