to experience misfortune,
to be reprimanded.

fight petty people..

proof you are growing.

psychologically sick. Be Big.
Feel sorry for them.

Think BIG Enough to see that quarrels, arguments, & fusses will never

Back off and start afresh with a new approach

qualities in the person you
want to love you.

your mate - and do it
often!
