a valuable lesson

this one may be one that we all know, but it bears repeating. that is that relationships trump issues.

we all go through moments where we will fight to be proven right-when we know that we are; we will demand to be heard- even though we know someone is not listening; and we will seek justice, but not resolution. sometimes when we push hard for something we believe we deserve, we end up pushing someone away.

so whether that is with your wife, kids, mother (or mother-in-law!), your neighbor, co-worker, or your pet fish, sometimes it is better to work on the relationship and allow the issue(s) to be resolved through that new bond.
