There’s this adage among married couples: you can either be right or happy (which I find rather humorous…).
Doing what’s “right” to you may not always be the only objective outcome.
Yet, there’s a lesson in knowing some things are absolutely worth standing up for — while, perhaps, most things are rather infinitesimal.
