Trying to rectify estrangements caused by small personal misunderstandings can easily lead to situations similar to that of a man whose horse escapes his barn. When the man dashes after the horse in a futile effort to capture it, the horse merely runs faster, and further away. But if the man simply returns home, the matter is settled quite easily, for the horse will likely return to the barn once it becomes hungry or thirsty.
Let small disputes solve themselves, friend; application of too much power in petty disputes can drive you further from your goal, and make reconciliation very difficult afterwards.
