Reflections on Arguing

I think fighting’s a lot easier when you shout. When you raise your voice, it’s much easier to sit or stand there in self-righteousness and anger, and not have to look at the pain you’ve caused on your loved one’s face. It’s so much easier to get a rise out of the other person, and concentrate on the awful things you’ve goaded them into saying to you. What’s much harder is to be a man, own your words and your mistakes, and apologize the best you know how. What’s daunting either way is mending the damage you’ve caused, and making sure that the relationship you’ve wounded is stronger for the experience.
