This is the main objective of both sides of every story. Each story shall equally be relevant and important. Understanding is imperative, one shall not be allowed to step on another as he or she pleases and get away with it. It doesn't matter who was right, or wrong. The main objective today is understanding. We are imperfectly made, but our God given strength is understanding, love.
If both of you come to an understanding, both shall be at peace. Fighting, revenge, bickering, provoking violence and anger will not work. Adding fuel to fire isn't favorable.
Do not let yourself be trapped in misunderstandings and hate.
