What a difference we can make if we laid down our tired, worn out excuses of the old defense, "it was only..."
It was only a joke
It was only a suggestion
It was only a tussle
It was only nine minutes
Objectionable behavior and aggression are tired excuses of "it was only" We have to lay our swords down and start the work with ourselves first.
We can get so good at our 'if onlys,' we forget to listen to the other person's viewpoint.
