THE LAST WORD
An unknown author has written,
"If you really way the last word
in an argument, try saying...
"I guess you're right."
Just think how many hot, searing
words might have been squelched,
how many heartaches avoided, how
many marriages saved had the embattled
and embittered participants been taught
to say..."I guess you're right."
A hot fire is often easily doused when at
least one of the verbal combatants offers
a conciliatory remark. (I guess I'm right.
Right? Oh, no, I beg your pardon. You're
right.)
