I have had worse confrontations than this and walked away friends. I didn’t seek retribution and I didn’t fucking punish my neighbor when he said some of the most foul things about me I’ve heard to date. I’ve worked out each of my differences with as much reason as I could in the situation and without a lust for goddamn retribution. Why? Because I’m a fucking adult. Because when someone shits on your day or keys your car you don’t do it back. You aren’t an animal. You treat them like you’d expect a real person to treat you. Have harsh words. Lose your cool. We all have emotions. But when it all settles down and you can think with a cool head, be respectful, kind, (and most retributive; most painful for others) be the bigger fucking man. What I see is an adult who has never seen the consequences of acting like a child and it shows every single day now.
