“Anger is the most impotent of passions.
It effects nothing it goes about,
and hurts the one who is possessed by it
more than the one against whom it is directed.”
~ Carl Sandburg

Who won the fight is not important. And generally, neither is the reason for which it started.
If we must fight, the first question to ask is not 'why?'. It is 'for what?'.

Sometimes I reflect back on all the beer I have drunk, and I feel ashamed. Then I look into my glass and think of all the workers in the brewery, and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink beer, they may be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself "it is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true, than to be selfish and worry about my liver".
