Simplified Meaning:

Arguing often makes both people feel bad, and it rarely solves the problem. When two people fight, they both want to win, but this makes them stubborn and less likely to listen to each other. For example, imagine two friends arguing over which movie to watch. They can spend hours fighting, getting upset, and maybe even saying hurtful things. If they just stayed calm and talked nicely, they could quickly find a movie they both like, or take turns choosing what to watch. The key is to focus on finding a solution together instead of trying to prove who's right. This way, everyone feels heard and respected, and you avoid unnecessary stress and bad feelings. If you face a disagreement, try to calmly discuss it or even agree to disagree. This approach helps maintain good relationships and keeps everyone happy.
