BIGGER PERSON
One day, two men appeared before a judge to have settled a dispute. One argued that the other had moved the boundary marker by five feet and thereby has taken possession of his land. After listening to both arguments and going through some documents the judge could not determine where the boundary should really be. So, he ordered that the five feet be divided in two. The first man stood and said, "Your Honor, I will be the bigger person, let him have it all." The second man got up and said, "Your Honor, I’ll be the bigger person and go right on and accept."
