He bites. His brother pushes, hits. He screams and cries. What is it with fighting? Why does it sometimes seem people never outgrow it? I know my kids are prone to fight. I often just separate them as this solution seems the most effective (at least short-term). When you come across adults who are prone to fighting, arguing, tearing others down, they tend to major in dishonesty, unwillingness to explore both sides of a story, to acknowledge the position with the most proof may be the better one even if it's not their position. At its core, with my kids it seems clear they fight largely because they feel threatened or want to establish dominance. Big people seem to have the same motives. Again, it seems like the most effective short-term solution (maybe only solution) is just to stay away from these types. In the long run teaching peace and thoughtfulness by example and word may be effective. Fighting doesn`t make anyone happy. No one.
Though it sounds flippant, too simple perhaps, the Bible says Love is the most excellent way. This love is not without discernment as such is not real love. But it`s thoughtful, Word-saturated, truthful, beautiful, growing.
