When someone says something that strikes you as combative, today, do your level best to give them the benefit of the doubt. If you show them that you have an honest desire to maintain good will between the two of you, then they will try to do the same. You are responsible for deciding whether or not a disagreement goes on to the next level, so you should appreciate the power you have and not take it for granted. Snapping back at someone could cost you today.
