Getting your way

Do you insist on getting your own way? Do you consider it a victory when you do and a defeat when you do not? Yet victories come at a price, and sometimes the price is greater than the value obtained. A stubborn and willful demeanor can get results in the short term by belligerence and overbearing. Yet in the long term this will drive people away from you. The final cost is the loss of things that are priceless. My word says it is better to suffer wrong than to sue your brother in court. Even short of legal action there are proper and improper ways of addressing disputes. It is in your own interest to take a long term view and consider yielding now to have a better future for yourself.
