“A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression.” (Proverbs 19:11)
Discretion is a superpower. It is the ability to decide for yourself what will be done in a specific situation. You don’t have to lose your temper. You don’t have to give up control to the injustice of it all.
The man of discretion glories in his ability to rise above circumstances. The discrete woman chooses how she will react to life. My fate will not be decided by others. I refuse to be a victim to others’ foolishness or reveal more than I deem fit.
Discretion chooses when and where to fight the battle and if it needs to be fought at all.
