It Looks As If

I promise to:

1. stick to solving one particular problem and to not try to change the whole world - or even one person - in one argument.

2. listen to the other person's side with an open mind and to not interrupt.

3. think about how the other guy is feeling.

4. take responsibility for my actions.

5. tell the truth.

6. not try to bully or scare someone into accepting my point of view.

7. not use physical violence.

8. not name-call or make threats.

9. not make excuses.

10. take a break to cool off, when I am too angry to be fair, then get back to the fight.

11. live up to my part of the agreement when the fight is settled.
