I do believe this one liner is true.
Specially when two people are arguing. The more words comes out of the mouths , the more that the argument becomes heated. But when each have said their piece and one of the party stops already, the argument slowly subsides also.
So, when we have said our piece over a matter, i guess we shouldn't add more words about it, lest the matter will get complicated and be misunderstood.

Yes, I totally agree. Less blabber, less hurt caused.
But sometimes, especially when we are overwhelmed with emotions, we tend to not control our tounges.
It is just our way of reacting and venting our feelings.

Well, it's but natural when we are angry that we cannot control our tongues anymore. That's when our patience and civility is tested.

And test..it did!
Now I try my best not to say anything or I may bite my tounge whenever I feel like saying something negative.
I just leave to the aggravating party the talking..no retort definitely cause it may further the argument. I don't like arguments.

It's difficult to do it, but when you have done it, feels like you could heave a relief!

And by the same token...
No Talk, No Mistake!(?)
I don't really see anything productive that could come out from arguing. I think it's a waste of time, and just causes emotional stress. When two people are intelligent enough to understand mistakes, and accept who's at fault, then there shouldn't be any need for an argument.

Yes, you are correct. But somehow, intelligent persons are the ones who would usually argue endlessly, because they would insist on their opinions. They don't want to be beaten by the other party's opinion.
However, if you are really intelligent, you would just keep silent when the discussion heats up.

But walking away without saying anything about what is being argued, would sometimes create more anger on the left party.

That's one of the most powerful techniques rules of the olden days have. The words that come out of their mouth are numbered, waited, watched, and scribed into laws of the land. The talk less, and when they were asked what is their decisions over an affair, they would simply say, "Let me think about it. Tomorrow morning, gather infront of this palace so I can announce my decision". Rulers and emperors never argue, for every word that comes out of their mouth, are powerful, and affects whole of their empires.

Hmm, really? That's a nice trivia that you have informed me.
I guess the rulers and emperor don't want to argue further , so they apply the less talk, less mistake principle.
Brilliant!

When we are in an argument, we tend to have our emotions get the better of us. It is when we are angry that we say things that we would later regret. Our reasoning get clouded by our emotions. It is best to maintain calmness. Only when we are calm can we really think properly.
Communication is vital in any relationship. It doesn't mean that you only talk but as important as talking, listening to the other person's sentiments is important too. I think there is no problem that cannot be solved without sitting down and talking about it.

Truly when one is in a heated argument and we get so angry, we tend to say things which should never have been said. however, this could be avoided if we maintain our calmness and mull over words that should be carefully spoken of.
But no one in his blinded fury could assure himself that hurting words will not be thrown to the other party when it happens.

Me, when i have tried to explain my side but still the other party insists on their opinion, i would say okay and leave. That way, i won't be making additional mistakes by adding words that can aggravate the situation.
Didn't you tell him how much you have been hurt ?

Actually its a "her" not "him".....my mother-in-law....I started a discussion regarding this and I'm a little bit okey now. What's still hurting me is that just when I thought I did everything to have a harmonious relationship with her, even considered her my own but in the end with just one simple miss, it all gone down the drain...She had a lot of hurtful words thrown at me, I'm the one that was aggravated but still I'm the one who apologized and didn't got one from her. It felt so awful and unfair but maybe I just have to understand, to forgive and forget. Thankfully, my husband stayed on my side and comforted me...

Yes, it's better to be silent and simmer down first from a heated situation, before sitting down to thresh out the matter. That way, hurting words are avoided.
