Be the Bigger Person

If there's anything harder in an argument than to say, "you're right"...please, let me know. It comes down to wondering if you want it to get uglier or do you just want to get to the situation at hand and fix it. When the other person is so fixed in their rage that all they do is attack, attack, attack, try changing their response by giving them one they won't be expecting. "Kill them with kindness" so to speak. Responding to personal cuts with more personal cuts only makes the fire hotter...instead of, "well your mom is a @#$%^" try, I'm sorry, I didn't know you felt that way...You aren't saying sorry for being wrong, you're saying sorry for not understanding. Being the bigger person is the most difficult thing to do in an argument...you may feel like its a show of weekness, but in the long run, you've just saved your relationship by humbling yourself which is a major STRENGTH!
