Decide what to do wisely.

NEXT TIME WHEN ANGER STRIKES..THINK TWICE........

Behave Matured and Just Agree that you Disagree. If nothing works, dig out your own ways to come out of argumentative situations so that you don’t hurt yourself and others, beyond forgivable limits; after all LIFE IS SHORT & anger doesn’t make relationships, it only breaks relationships. Once, Problems Are Resolved, FORGIVE AND FORGET, or at least do ONE of the two!!
