When feel I am wronged, my temptation is sometimes to become bitter. Isn't that what the "fine, if that is what you want, I will make sure I do it" response is? Implicit in that remark is I will behave myself, but in payment for my compliance I get to resent you for forcing me to agree to this.
It seems that to walk in a way that honors God, I need to be honest and straightforward with what I am thinking. If I get into the "fine, we'll do it your way so I can hate you" response, I am not honoring to God, to the person I am in conflict with AND I do not honor myself.
If I do go down that road, it can be very treacherous to my soul.
