  The author believes, Protecting Your Peace is a Strength, not a Weakness.  Choosing Your Peace is a Form of Self-Respect. There Is Nothing Wrong with Guarding Your Peace.  Your Peace Deserves Protection.  Prioritizing Your Peace Is Healthy, Not Selfish.

However, when these emotions are left unchecked, nurtured, or justified repeatedly, they begin to behave like a slow-growing cancer, quietly damaging relationships, clouding judgment, and destroying inner peace.
