When you do not understand what the actions of a person who used to be really close to you imply, you might actually develop more anger than confusion. Especially when you know you are in the right (or when you think you are). Besides, in every debate, discussion or argument of sort, trying to impose or make the other party understand your point rather, will always be too difficult. But let us not go that far even if a simple misunderstanding could also lead to several awful outcomes.
Contradicting beliefs, opinions, principles -- It is inevitable because we live in different places; are raise in different households; affected by different scenarios; and are simply different human beings despite looking alike. But that does not mean we would not get along. In reality, perhaps, not all of us. But some of us, surely, still would. Hopefully, we would find people or a person who would eventually share the same views as we do.
On the other hand, it is still possible to have conflicts even with the people whom you thought possess, if not a similar mindset, at least stand on a likewise platform that you do. And that is just simply more agitating. You try to speak your mind. You turn into the silent treatment. You try to be submissive. You pretend not to care. Until you have tried all the feasible solutions you can probably think of. But then, nothing. It starts to become exhausting, tiring, and pointless. Maybe, sometimes, we just need to accept divergence, appreciate the good and learn acceptance more. Unless, the other person's actions have caused greater harm to other people. Of course, they vary on a case by case basis. But you know, maybe. Then we'll come up with a system or an understanding that would gain and maintain harmony despite our differences. Just maybe.
