Being The Bigger Person Is Overrated

Why is the person who got disrespected always the one expected to “be the bigger person”? Someone lies about you.

Betrays you. Embarrasses you.

Crosses a boundary. And somehow you’re the one being told: “Let it go.” “Don’t stoop to their level.” “Protect your peace.” “Be the bigger person.” But when the hell do THEY have to be the bigger person?

In Episode 9, we’re going there. We’re talking about the dark side of “taking the high road”—when maturity starts looking a lot like silence, when grace turns into enabling, and when “protect your peace” becomes an excuse to let disrespect go unchecked.

Because sometimes confrontation is necessary. Sometimes accountability requires a response.

Sometimes cutting someone off is the mature thing to do. And no— forgiving someone does not mean giving them access to you again.
