Your comment reminds me how inconsistent I am in relating to others. Sometimes I jump in feet first, sword blazing, and defend what I believe is right. That often results in weeks of tremendous emotional instability for me. Just getting my blood boiling, even if I "win" the argument leaves me emotionally shattered and volatile.
I tend to back off when I see conflict looming, not because I don't care, but because I am learning that if I am to be of any use to anyone, I need to deal with things in a way that doesn't trigger instability. That can often be frustrating in itself, because I tend to feel like a wimp, and I still simmer with anger at injustice that "got away with murder". Sometimes I keep quiet because I just can't articulate a diplomatic and effective response.

On a happier note, I have just got back from 4 days of relaxing with my family at a country estate.
