"Nunca respondas a una persona enfadada con una réplica ardiente, incluso si se lo merece... No permitas que su enojo se convierta en tu enojo."
— Bohdi Sanders

Simplified Meaning:
When someone is mad at you and yells or says hurtful things, it can be tempting to yell back. But fighting fire with fire only makes things worse. For example, if a friend is really upset because they had a bad day and they snap at you, snapping back won't help. Instead, stay calm; this might calm them down too. If you get angry in return, the situation can escalate, leading to more hurt feelings. It's like pouring water on a fire instead of gasoline—keeping the situation from getting out of control. If you handle their anger calmly, it can prevent misunderstandings and help solve the problem faster.
