"Stop criticizing me all the time!" I yelled, exasperated. "You keep doing it all the time and I can't stand it anymore!"
I was suddenly reminded of a sentence I saw in the newspaper--'A person shouts at another person when in anger because the distance between their hearts is great.'
Her response was instantaneous, her eyes widened slightly, then she raised her voice, not quite shouting yet, "I'm trying to teach you to be a better person, how am I supposed to do that when you always get so defensive and don't listen to me?"
I had had enough. I didn't quite mean to stoop so low as to mention that person, but right then I didn't care. "Haven't you ever thought of why he turned out that way, and that I too am starting to be biased about everything you say?" I took a step forward.
"It's because there's been so many times you're wrong, that we can't trust anymore that you're right."
