Unresolved conflict can definitely increase our feelings of anxiety and tension, which escalate over time. Like scum building up in the corners of the shower, emotional residue can dirty the edges of our peace without our even realizing it. As unsettling as it can be at the moment, it's important to deal with situations as they arise and not carry them around for weeks or even years......
Difficult people are often in our lives for unseen purposes. god's purposes. Perhaps to stretch us, grow us, or sand down our sharp edges by friction.
Remember, even nutty lumps in the batter add flavor.
Never answer a fool on his own foolish terms,
or you will become like him;
Rather, answer a fool on his own foolish terms,
or he will become wise in his own eyes.
~Proverbs 26:4-5
