grown up or losing my fangs?

sometimes, i look back and wonder at how i have changed  evolved over the last decade or so. why just this period in time? becuase the most significant chnages have happened in this period. i feel i've mellowed or in other words, lost my fangs. there was a time when i was very upright about my thoughts and views and expressed my opinion on everything big and small freely. when i didnt agree with something, my audience knew it... when i did too they would know it. over the years now....i seem to have developed the habit of picking my battles. when there are things that i dont agree with, i give it a thought and only react based on how important it is to me.

opinions on religion and religious practices, social and regional stereotypes, food habits, especially the digusted tones with which vegetarians talk of people who eat meat, poor vs rich, parenting, attitudes towards wonen in general, working women, the list is long and endless. i can sometimes hear myself scream in my head and sometimes i cant hear my own voice.....

i've come to the conclusion that what i ultimately do and think is more important than fighting a verbal battle with a person of very little consequence....
