Polarity of peace vs. drama: peace~drama
“Peace is the cessation of againstness’ ~ Unkown, made famous by John-Roger

If your allegiance is to peace, you do what you can to avoid, limit and reduce unnecessary drama.
If your allegiance is to drama, as Drama Queen; and, Crazy Maker, you do what you can to avoid, limit and reduce unnecessary peace. Peace does not get you attention or anything you want.

For those two lovers, their habits of over-reacting got the better of them.
Who’s getting the best of you today?
