VERBAL COLLISIONS

 

Discussions for various reasons
Too often result in arguments-
Misunderstandings, differences
Fanned by underlying emotions
Drive the opposing participants
from logical to extreme positions.

 

Members who are of one family
know their customary methodology
Matching each individual character
Who are well known to each other,
Negating normalcy or rationality
Resulting in but shouting matches.

 

If the same members have differences
With non, unknown family members,
Their disagreements often result in
Polite, reasonable, logical discussion
Leading to mutually satisfactory solutions,
Which in turn make friends of adversaries.

 

Conflicts either externally or internally
Are generally to be expected periodically-
If these then are approached even handedly
The chances for finding a mutual resolution
Fair to both parties are improved markedly,
Peacefully alleviating most verbal collisions.
