We all have disagreements. To clash at times with family and friends is a part of life. Whether we simply have a difference of opinion with someone or engage in an argument, disagreements offer an opportunity for us to learn and grow.
However, when we are discussing something of importance to us, or if we disagree with someone we don’t particularly like, it may be difficult to keep from becoming angry and exchanging harsh words. From there, it’s all too easy for a disagreement to escalate and become a full blown shouting match
During any disagreement, it’s important to be respectful and let the other person state their opinion. Then listen and really try to hear what the other person is saying. Try to understand not just their words, but their feelings as well. Understanding is more important than agreeing. You may not come to an agreement, but you can agree to disagree and still keep peace. God Bless – P.K
