It is difficult when you take the high road in dealing with incendiary (and thus, immature) people. Time and again you can assuage and respond better than you want to, and when there is no acknowledgement of wrong-doing nor a mere apology for a poor tone, it really can alter a relationship even if forgiveness has been extended. There are consequences to our actions that live beyond the reconciliation, if we are so fortunate to actually get full reconciliation. Some people are just determined to be unreasonable. Sadly, even if these people continually have difficulty with others, they can fail to see the common denominator is staring them in the mirror.
