Look For a Compromise

Trying to get one's point across... With a raised voice, Or when two parties Talk over each other In order to win an argument... Is not communication. When conflict reaches a boiling point, It's difficult to reach a resolution. The crosstalk becomes so incoherent... We don't hear each other clearly. The unnecessary screaming And shouting is pointless and tiresome. A much easier way is to Turn down the heat And look for a compromise. When two perspectives are in dispute It's better to bring disagreeing parties together... To help resolve their differences And come to a solution both can agree on. That's effective communication. It matters much more... Respecting different opinions Than "being right." If the impasse remains unbroken Simply agree to disagree. Date written: 08/12/2021
