Don’t ever wrestle with pigs, even when you are right and sure of winning. Because you both get dirty and the pig likes it.
However painful, this is one choice every wise person must make.
David was provoked extremely and dragged up to this point by King Saul. Even his lieutenants encouraged him to get into the gutter with Saul. But he refrained: “And he said to his men, ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master…’So David restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul…” 1 Samuel 24:6-7. NKJV.
The only way to prove you are not a pig like them is not to join issues with them in the gutters, however tempting or justified. Or else you make the pigs happy.
