The beginning of strife Sifiqp Cswiifiginiitbini Ik feTEbsks When you are in a tense situation and an argument is about to erupt, do you try to play peacemaker, or do you add more fuel to the fire? Have you ever stopped to consider that contention is like a dripping faucet? If not stopped, it will grow worse and eventually turn into full-blown strife. Those who choose to live wisely must realize the value of putting a stop to contention before it gets out of hand. If they don’t practice this truth, they will see drops of contention turn into floods of strife. is as when one letteth out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
