put em' up

When I was younger my mom would tell me that life isn't fair when I wouldn't get my way.

I always wondered why life can't be fair. Why do bad guys get their way sometimes? Why can't good people that do good things get rewarded all the time?

The question I have been pondering lately is when do you fight the injustice, and when do you just let it go?

Sometimes fighting the injustice pays off. But sometimes it comes to bite you in the bum.

There are some people that can be swayed by logical and rational argument, if it 's presented in a respectful manner. Things like proving your not at-fault for an accident or explaining what your motivation was for doing something questionable. But at what point is it important to clarify things and to open up something to a dialogue, and at what point can you say it really doesn't matter and just let it go?

Some people though, no matter how hard you try to explain, will never see your way.

Sometimes letting go and walking away means you are the bigger person. But sometimes it means you don't care.

So when do you know when to fight, and when to walk away?
