'My father taught us all, all four of his boys, that dispassionate discourse is the best way to handle a conflict. To discuss the issue without ego, calmly and with proof and validation would win over any disagreement. At the very least, you could agree to disagree, and knowing each other's viewpoints, could accept those opposite viewpoints as belonging to the other person. Regardless of how wrong you might personally think them to be. Different people, different viewpoints."

Now see, once again, not for correction but for discussion. I wish my dad had taught us something like this. What he taught us instead was the Winner is the strongest and the best and the Boss, and the loser is scum and a LOSER and worthless, so you'd better win at any cost, because that is where your value comes from. It took me *years* to overcome this teaching. I had to find the stuff your dad taught you on my own. You started with great advantage here!
