Taking a shower in the morning, many of us find ourselves thinking about an argument we've had with a family member or colleague... imagining saying the perfect zinger that would stop them in their tracks, unable to respond.

Then we exit the shower, pick up a towel, and start the day worked up, agitated or even angry - looking for an argument with our spouse or housemate.

We have so many of these arguments, and opinions, going around our heads, constantly looking for justification, and even seeking to antagonise others, so we have a chance to justify ourselves.

Perhaps there's another way. Perhaps we can leave our opinions behind and just respond to whatever is happening in the moment, with joy.
