About This Quote
Hugh Laurie (playing Mr. Palmer) felt the line 'Don't palm all your abuses [of language upon me]' was possibly too rude. 'It's in the book,' I said. He didn't hit me.
With the rise of social media, there is a tendency to share everything that happens to us and then blame everyone and everything else. If we get into an argument or a fight, we often lay all the responsibility of our feelings at someone else’s feet. This is even true if we lose an argument or a fight.
We often post something like this: "I lost the argument, but I did my best." It sounds like such a nice thing to say, but it’s not true. We can’t just say we did everything we could and let it go at that. From this perspective, we may feel that we lost an argument or a fight, but we didn’t lose anything more than the right to feel upset and disappointed about what happened.
