Kana mumwe wako atsamwa zviri nani kumupindura namanzwi akapfava uye ane rudo kuti iye agopora pashungu dzake. Kwete kumutaurira zvingamuwedzera kutsamwa.

For a person already in anguish, bitterness and sighing only press harder on the wound; what gives him strength is being loved. So meet an angry companion with gentle, affectionate words that let him recover, not with words that feed his anger.
