“Well, here we are, just a bunch of thirty year olds.”
“Finally, the truth. Lying with his face pressed into the dusty carpet of the office where he had once thought he was learning the secrets of victory, Harry understood at last that he was not supposed to survive.”
in a relationship with healthy communication, arguments should end with understanding on both ends
you have to keep the goal in mind
do you want to win? or do you want to understand that person and resolve the issue? (ask yourself once, then ask again)
the ego loves to win an argument, but relationships are not about feeding your ego
healthy relationships dilute the ego
if you find yourself arguing to win in your relationship, consider what you value more: the love you share with that person, or protecting your ego
Kids are interesting. I’m babysitting a 9 year old boy right now who’s homework is to write a fictional story and he wrote about how in millions of years the sun will expand killing everything and one man fell asleep at the beach and missed all the official announcements about the world ending but he managed to be the only survivor of the solar flares because he applied SPF 100 sunscreen.
