"If you quarrel every day, you're saying prayers to the devil." That's a quote by Bob Marley. Marley was a strange duck, and a music legend. At first, I was going to pass this quote by, but then I thought about it a little bit, and I think he is right.
Notice he says "every day". That is the key to the quote, in my opinion. We all quarrel sometimes... and then we go back and live our normal lives. We get over it. Those that quarrel every day though, they live in resentment. And THAT is very different. I think we all go through life trying to be satisfied. If you are constantly fighting about things, then it's likely that you are never satisfied. If you were, you wouldn't be quarreling! Remember, it takes two to quarrel. If you are always one of the two quarreling, then it is likely that YOU are part of the problem. The problem can't always lie with someone else. The best thing you can do if you are always quarreling, is to step back and see if you can figure out why. Why do I always fight with this person or that one? Why do I find myself getting into trouble? Why do I start trouble? If you can answer these questions honestly, it should go a long way to stopping the quarreling. Remember, none of us like to argue. All arguments can usually be avoided if you try. We all have buttons that can be pushed to the point where we will lash out and argue. Don't do it. It just isn't worth it. Life is brutally short. Don't waste your time worrying about whether you are right or wrong, or proving someone else a fool, or lazy, or wrong. Live your life to be happy. The only person you have to prove anything to, is yourself.
