A lot of disagreements can be squelched by not adding an extra log to the fire. I know it’s hard to hold back, especially when every nerve seems to be on fire. You can change the subject, suggest you think about it, or thank the other for their opinion. Let the extra log stay where it is.

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).
