Whenever you’re in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.

Bread without flesh is a good diet, as on many botanical excursions I have proved. Tea also may easily be ignored.

Never elated when someone’s oppressed, never dejected when another one’s blessed.
