Because the anger will eat you up and get you no where.
Because you too have made mistakes and seek forgiveness at times.
Because you will never learn or grow if you do not try to build bridges.
We all have disagreed with other people, in business and in our families. That is fine and expected.
And when we do disagree it is important to keep perspective.
Try not to alienate or worse just swear them off....talk.
I know that when you are in the moment it is difficult and easier said than done so try to step away.
Hang up, stop replying so quick on email, walk away.
Wait, think, give yourself time to digest the whole picture.
Measure your words and your response, why make matters worse.
And you do have a knee jerk reaction and realize it after you do walk away than revisit it and apologize.
Do not let it sit and fester, it will only get worse and quickly work it's way to no return.
Ridiculous.
What than did you accomplish?
Abraham Lincoln said " I disarm my enemies when I make them my friends".
More important you may come to realize that they are NOT the enemy..that is when you start to learn and grow.
Take the time to see their side, for just one moment. Why do THEY feel the way they do?
It may be something small, something they held in days or weeks ago and because THEY did not talk it out they held it in and it is now a wall.
Forgiveness is the only way to release your anger and to move on.
