Look at your life as a whole instead of just that moment in time. Realize that every moment adds to your life, but does not create your life. When you get in a fight and someone says hurtful things, use time to get over the situation and then do not hold it against the person. Exchange apologies and forgiveness and move on. It is beneficial to maintain perspective during life.

Let go of the anger. When you let someone control your emotions, you are letting that person get the best of you. Instead, digest the situation, feel anger for a brief moment and then focus on what is important. Do not let the words eat away at you and take control of your life.
