It is human nature to become defensive when provoked. There are many times when someone does something that irritates, annoys, or devolves to the point of making us angry.
And often our response to being rebuked is to fire back.This can escalate into an adversarial posture that is beyond reconciliation.
But there is no benefit to be derived from a severed relationship. Zero, Zilch. Nadda. None!
As long as the bridge remains unburned, there is still an opportunity to extract something positive at some point in time. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Sometimes it takes a little forgiveness. Goodness only knows that we could all use some every now and then!
