I wish everything would go back to normal at work.
But it won't.
I think feelings were hurt too deeply and things were said so that anger still bubbles where it all started.
I want everyone to get along, but it is a group effort, and it is impossible to get things accomplished when everyone is still stung by last week's actions.
Either way, I am impartial and neutral on the matter. I won't choose sides. I also wasn't present to witness the incident which caused this rift between you. I care for each of you and we've formed something solid and real. If you don't want to reconcile, that's fine, because sometimes, friendships outgrow themselves and issues can't be resolved. I don't think this is one of those cases, but either way, when things go awry, the strength and patience of the characters involved are tested. People either come out from it with a stronger friendship, or one that is severed, perhaps forever.
I'd like to think it will be resolved, or at least remedied slightly with a calm and subdued conversation about the situation. The key word here is subdued. Otherwise egos, feelings and sentiments will be enflamed. We all have our attributes and faults and they have been on display for each of us to see, so we are all vunerable.
What to say? Prolonged feelings of anger causes weakness, not strength. You may feel empowered by fury, but ultimately, carrying that for too long only makes you a weaker person.
