I’m not going to hold a grudge that I can’t remember the 5 P’s because they all start with the same letter. Oh well. Awesome entry. Thanks.

In reply to TJ McDowell. Excellent, excellent point TJ. And I would add, actually TALK. Do NOT email. That will most likely make matters worse. If you can't meet the alleged offender in person, there's this really great invention called the telephone...

Good tips. I think the other thing that can help when there’s conflict is talking with the other person involved to make sure you’re clearly understanding the issue. Maybe there’s no need to forgive at all. It could just have been a simple misunderstanding. It can be easier to hold the grudge than to investigate the root issue, but easier is not always better.
