Fair Fight.

Why the hurtful words? Why the name-calling? Why the profanity? Didn't we go to school to learn how to express ourselves and problem solve? Yet, some of us still fight like children in an Elementary School playground. After awhile, you learn what words trigger which type of reaction in a person and the fight then becomes predictable and utterly pointless. This unfortunate circumstance results in a "no contest" - I'll let you have your way, but I'm not wrong. Generally, people walk away displeased and drained of energy to "work it out". There is an inherent need for most people to make the other person surrender as well as understand.

"Yes, you're sorry, but WHY?"
"Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?"
"LISTEN..."
"No, don't say sorry to brush me off, do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
"No, I know it's not FINE."

Any of this sound familiar? =) Ever wonder why we all fall into the same trap over and over and over again?

Because as infallible as we all are, we are all only human.

We would like to think we are infallible, but we are only human, thus very much fallible...

I don't know where you went to school, but that's where I learned to resolve my problems with wonderfully "colorful" language you were talking about. ^.^
