THOUGHTS
A
Different Kind of Duel
According to an informal
account of curious conflict resolution, Otto von Bismarck, Chancellor of
Germany (1871 to 1890), had such a “beef” with the scientist Rudolf Virchow,
that he challenged him to a duel.
Dr. Virchow, as the one
who was challenged, got to make the choice of weapons. Engaged at the time in
"investigations relating to trichinosis," the good doctor opted for
less than conventional arms.
“My arms;
there they are—those two sausages. One of them is full of trichinae; the other
is pure. Let his Excellency breakfast with me. We will eat the sausages; and he
shall take his choice of them.”
The Chancellor, so amused
by the suggestion of resolving the issue by means of sausages, called off the
duel. Conflict is unavoidable, but how we chose to engage in it is entirely up
to us. We must keep our wits and keep our tempers.
Ephesians
4:26
Don't sin
by letting anger control you.
I love you all,
Tim
