I know some controversies cannot be settled, but I think a good relationship deserves coming to some point of agreement.

long-range effect like hers do. My plans are always in the “NOW.” 

That cookie was so delicious, so scrumptious, that I thought it deserved
one more cookie for my consumption. After all, she would not miss two 
cookies. As I said, I live in the “NOW” and I am not quite sure how 
many cookies I consumed before my wife came into the kitchen. 

All I know is, there was squawking and pretty soon she was chasing me
not only out of the kitchen but out of the house shouting, “How dare 
you eat all of those cookies. They're not for you!” 

Getting back to the porch, the squirrel and the birds, I began to feel a
little bit of empathy for the squirrel. I knew exactly what he was 
going through. 

Controversies are like that. One side believes one way and the other
side believes another way and the twain shall never meet. There is the 
bird's nest view and there is the fence view. Not to mention, the 
cookies in the kitchen view. 

My wife saw that one way, while I saw them completely differently. It is
really not my fault. If my wife did not make the cookies so delicious, 
I would not be tempted to eat them. In fact, they are so delicious that 
you cannot just eat one. Or, at least I can't. 

Thinking about that I was reminded what the prophet said, “Can two walk
together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). 

I know some controversies cannot be settled, but I think a good
relationship deserves coming to some point of agreement.
