Some people are too submissive.  They continually back off and are afraid to voice an objection, and this gives them a sense of diminished self-worth.  Others are too aggressive.  They push people about in an arrogant and dominating manner.  These are the people with an exaggerated view of self-importance.  Abraham Lincoln spoke to this issue when he said: “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.” 

Between these two extremes is found the ideal quality for good human relationships - assertiveness.  Assertive people neither cower from fear nor threaten with force.  They frankly express their feelings and hopes to the person or people with whom they are having difficulties.  Assertive people are strong, open and peace-loving. 

Hurts and wrongs often go undiscussed and unattended because it is hard for us to talk about them.  Although we avoid direct confrontations, we often resort to making complaints behind the scene.

“When your brother/sister offends you,” says Jesus in today’s Gospel, “go to him/her and discuss the matter between the two of you.”  This is simply a call to be assertive.  Such an action can save untold hardships and enable us to quickly solve many problems which otherwise could linger on for years or even a lifetime.
