Whenever it benefits another.
So used by certain people in certain situations, not generally speaking.
When you feel used like that by certain people, what do you want to do about it?

Speak my mind.
Is that where it seems like being a peacemaker gets in the way, like it's a character flaw?
nope
but it requires a willingness to endure pain
like this guy:

No, it's a character flaw because it always gets me burnt, no matter how good my intentions are...it's like being the nice person is excuse to punish me for whatever reason seems good to them at the time.

The more I think about it, the more I come to believe that being a compassionate peacemaker is actually a character flaw. It makes a person weak.
What do you think?
What I'm asking is does trying to be a peacemaker keep you from speaking your mind like you want to?
I think someone has recently gotten under your skin.

Of course....I have to be nice and suck it up and be the bigger person and brush it off and forgive.....
What do you know...it happened right before our eyes, in this thread.
Jesus wasn't nice to the vipers.
He didn't suck it up, but set them straight and not always in flattering terms.
When he wasn't nice and set people straight, he was still the bigger person.
The bigger person doesn't always brush things off.
Yes, you have to forgive.
They're like foolish brothers and sisters who don't know better.
You forgive them, like Jesus forgave on the cross.
Forgiveness could temper your rebuke, but you have license to rebuke, imo.
My two cents, sister.![]()
Rack off.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
You completely ignore me in every other thread BUT have plenty to say in this one....
Selfish mongrel
Yeah, that's what I thought.
