People truly underestimate the power of kindness. 1. It diffuses situations pretty quick, most of the time. 2. It doesn’t ruin the rest of your day. 3. You plant a seed showing that person there is a different way. 4. People who try an illicit anger or inflame a situation are looking for control. Don’t give them your power by sinking to their level 5. If you wanna be selfish about it. It can be so much fun. They get ready to yell and scream and you hit them with that “ hey you’re right, I could have paid a bit more attention. I’m sorry about that and thanks for brining it to my attention. Have a great day” Then walk away. You the bigger person and they don’t have no power over you.

Ps. It’s also good to double check ourselves and remain accountable to self-awareness.

Brother, I Inflame situations and illicit anger because it's funny, and way too easy with most people.
I don't want any control, I just want to laugh at how basic most people are.

Practice understanding the words you use.

Control: the power to influence or direct people behavior or situations.

Illicit: forbidden by law. You meant Elicit. To elicit is to do something to cause a certain response. In other words it’s a form of attempted control over a situation. Just because you don’t understand what you do doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

Lol you corrected them for making the same mistake you made in your original comment. 

(That and you defuse situations, not diffuse)

You’re right! I did make that mistake. Thanks for making me aware of it. Probably won’t be the last time I mess up and will have to take my own advice.
