Booby Traps

Nothing pays off like restraint of tongue and pen.
We must avoid quick-tempered criticism
and furious, power-driven argument.
The same goes for silent scorn.
These are emotional booby traps
baited with pride and vengefulness.
Our first job is to sidestep the traps.

I don't have to attend every argument I am invited to.
