I got in a fight with my [friend/lover/mother/boss].  [She/he] grilled me about the deficiencies of others and my own enablement.  I did not bow out and leave the pecking to its principals.  Therefore, I got in a fight with myself.

            It’s not good versus evil, what I want versus what I don’t.  Maybe wise versus willful.  Patience is readiness.  Listening is the truth, mainly tacitly, as it turns out.
