I saw a tv show 15 years ago. This guy Brian was getting ready to put a new roof on his small house. He enlisted the help of his brother Tom to help him in his endeavor. The brother lived far away. The brother was to stay for a week. They were getting along great till the 3rd day when a bad mistake by Tom on the roof caused Brian to lose his cool. The fight escalated and Tom climbed down off the roof and was going to head home the following day.
That night Brian did some soul searching and came to the right conclusion. Family trumps perfection and his pride. No... pride was not going to come between the brothers. One of the last scenes was Brian and Tom sitting down to dinner with Brian wearing a gargantuan smile.
Way to go Brian. You past the test in flying colors. May we do the same as Brian.
Swallow the pride and live in peace. This will give you at least another 5 years to your life.
