Have you ever been in a serious fight only to realise later that it was unnecessary and futile? Share your experience/views with others frankly and honestly.

Once I shared a different opinion with my friend. It was my 10th birthday, the cake had ten candles on it. The guests, my parents, relatives, brothers and sisters all were singing the birthday song. My closest friend, Aman was standing next to be. As I cut the cake, I was supposed to blow off the candles. Suddenly Aman stopped me. He insisted on one of the candles to be lighted till the last before being blown off. I got angry and exchanged bad words: because both of us were adamant on our point. Later, I repented when my mother told me that one lighted candle is to be kept in the prayer room and is symbolic of your long life. Such a terrible scene was created. If only I had tried to listen to the whole concept of Aman, we would never have quarrelled. I said sorry to Aman and realised my mistake.
