“Bigger issues”


Well, the family was arguing again. It’s going to be impossible for me to get my wings when everyone is so stubborn. Judy tries to empathize with both parents but she’s young and inexperienced. Max was far too cold with the dog today. Instead of reassuring the girls with compassion, he just acted like he didn’t care. Jenevive didn’t understand that Max’s mind was preoccupied with their divorce and he couldn’t handle another problem. Why does it seem that humans prefer to be at war rather than practice peace?

Humans are flawed. Passion and emotion are high during arguments and disagreements. Sometimes getting into verbal spars causes the truth to leak out. Although it causes a lot of pain, sometimes it's necessary to "rip off the bandaid" and let get the wounds out in the air.

Isn't this just another instance of Max being too self-absorbed? I know he's dealing with a lot, but so are the girls.

It is exactly as Tiffany has stated. Humans are built to be inperfect. By raging war and conflict, it shows that we humans find it easier to deal with things by being selfish.

is it any wonder why people use drugs and alcohol as a way to escape - at least you have that going for you - as far as I can tell there isn't substance abuse in this family.

I agree with Sofia, I feel Max is just being stubborn and not seeing the views of the other girls.

Individuals have differing ideas. Some people just aren't able or want to just sit back and listen to what others think. I don't know if humans would rather be at war. I just think it's programmed into every one of us. We need to fight to live?

I agree, I thing the biggest problem that people have in relationships is the unwillingness to realize where the other person is coming from. People can't seem to get past their own feelings and look at the other persons. If both Judy and Max could step back from their own hurt feelings and try to see why the other person is also hurt they might be able to better their relationship.
