Bonus - What is the desired outcome?

 To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles. - T.F. Hodge

We often ignore the most important aspect when we begin to argue. We focus too much on building our own egos and destroying all egos on the opposing side. This means the important outcome doesn't get done, or it does but spitefully and to the minimum requirements. You also lose friends as no one wants to be around someone who destroys their ego.
If you find yourself arguing, take a step back, pause and ask yourself 'what is the desired outcome?'. Put your focus on working together to achieve that.

Bonus - Everything is on loan

Everything is on loan.   Our possessions, our friends, family, even our own lives.  If we're lucky the loan is repaid after we die, but we've all had loans retuned before we where ready or worse, before we were aware it was a loan. Whenever you are in a state of truly loving life remind yourself 'This is all on loan.'  Be grateful and take in all you can, cause one day, memories is all you'll have left.

If you value the truth, even a white lie, in the hopes to make you feel better, would hurt you. If you value family, only for them to pick friends over you, that would hurt. Often we feel this way, without knowing why and this leads to a lot of stress and questioning ourselves.  Once you know your values, knowing what choice to make is a lot easier. You choose whatever choice is closest to your highest values. Even in failure, you can rest happy, knowing that you made the right choice. Comic Video Reading Task 1.
