Had a tiff with my best friend and we went into a long "cold-war". As the word suggested, it was over petty issues. I was the one who started it, likely, as we each hold different approaches and opinions in the way that we look and handle issues in our daily life.
Well, there are always difference in opinions among people due to umpteen reasons, be it family upbringing, educational background, work and social exposure etc and the list goes on. I always think human beings do not and could not live by themselves and would need the support of each other especially mentally to give that morale boost in particular at times of low mood. And I think my friend shares the same opinion in general but is not very expressive in words and chooses a quieter action. I believe more in expressing through communicating with words and actions. And in so doing, my reminders became some kind of "accusation" on my friend for not showing sufficient concern. It was unintentional but it caused injury and saddened the person.
The "cold-war" lasted for a long 52 days and we decided to reconcile over a meal and a cup of coffee. It was a lesson learnt through mutual understanding and we are happy to continue the friendship.
