- At one time or another all of us have come face to face
with confronting a person, who you believe, has stepped over
the line of normal behavior or engaged in a specific fault.
Admonishing his behavior, at that grievous moment of
transgression, you think may justify your actions, but it
will not.
Think again, do you know anything about this person your
about to tell off. A perfect stranger might give you more
than you bargained. Someone you know socially, or a
relative, should make you think twice.
Confrontation is a loosing aggressive game, with no winners.
You may think you won, but the stress you’re left with and
the many words that you should have said, will linger in
your mind and replay for days. Even if you think you had the
upper hand . . . you loose.
In the heat of the argument you’re not thinking rationally.
The longer the confrontation continues the more you’re
chosen words become unclear, with a possibility it may come
to physical blows, which you should avoid at all cost.
The consequences are far greater than you realize. Keeping
your cool is the wisest choice you can make. Remember any
confrontation, whether it may be verbal or physical is a
loosing aggressive game.
I know two friends who have not spoken to each other for
many years.
This lingers on and on, with neither party stepping up to
resolve the fracture in their relationship, it is very sad
and disappointing. Not knowing the true rift that caused
this situation, I can only speculate and watch.
Forgiveness, a word not easily acted on, is similar to
another difficult phrase . . . “I’m sorry,” that becomes too
much for the human spirit to address.
As the years roll on we personally change, whether it’s
physically, subtle memory loss, or characteristically
retaining our persisting old habits. Some of us constantly
find faults with everyone and everything, including the ever
present jealousy, which is part of human nature.
As for not forgiving someone for reasons unknown we can only
hope that the participants will come to their senses before
time dismisses both of them.
