‘There Is no such test of a person’s superiority of character as in the well-conducting of an unavoidable quarrel.’ – Henry Taylor
True, but well-conducting an unavoidable quarrel is SO MUCH WORK. Yelling and screaming and ranting and raving is so much easier. I know, I know, I don’t mean in the long term, but short term ‘well-conducting’ is like doing a run among rocks and boulders, having to look and think and react well and fast and look ahead and be focused. Ranting and raving is like running on an open stretch with no obstacles – you just run as fast and as furious as you can and you can be oblivious to your surroundings if you want. Not necessarily beneficial, but it feels so good!

>Yeah except when you rant and yell it’s like you are just closing your eyes and pretending you are in an environment with no obstacles. You end up tripping all over the rocks and running into the boulders and generally stepping where you didn’t want to step and crossing lines that you don’t see.
