I hear a lot about how wrong it is to start "disputes/fights/quarrels/etc", and these types of statements come from people who continually engage those they perceive as the starter of "disputes/fights/quarrels/etc". (I put it in quotes, because it's somewhat debatable if something is truly a dispute/fight/quarrel/etc. It may simply be an honest debate that one party is frustrated with.)
If someone perceives someone else as the starter of disputes/fights/quarrels/division/etc, aren't they just as in the wrong for engaging with and getting entangled in it?
So I guess, if you're someone who perceives others as the starters of disputes/fights/quarrels/division/etc, if you indeed engage them, and go back and forth with them, aren't you just as guilty as them?
Thoughts?
