I've learned again recently that we need
to be very careful about how we address conflict situations. I used
to be like a bull in a china shop but I have tried over the last few
years to take a softer approach. Unfortunately, I got lead astray by
someone I thought I could trust and I got burned.
The bible says a soft answer turns away
wrath and that really is true. The saddest part is that because of
our electronic age, it is all to easy to rattle off your anger in an
email and hit send before you have even had time to reflect on what
you have written.
If you are upset with someone in your
life, a friend, family member or even a colleague, rather set a
coffee date to talk about your concerns face to face than to
correspond via email. The personal touch is always the best.
