Settling Scores

1. Scores should be settled as and when they arise, in order to preserve goodwill and minimise misunderstanding.

2. A score not settled is injustice allowed to happen. A score not settled is an insult to one's own willpower and to the other's moral standing.

3. A score is often foregone because one is afraid that the other will take offense. He forgoes the score to the expense of his own interests.

This is irresponsible behaviour; one has a limited capacity to which he is willing and able to shoulder the consequences of someone else's actions. He who makes it a habit will eventually give way himself, to the detriment of all around him.
