You might see an argument with a cantankerous person as being unavoidable.
This may be the way things usually go with this person. Even though you are
not someone who goes out looking for trouble, Cancer, you could easily be pulled
into a conflict with this trouble-seeking person. But there really is a much
easier solution. Instead of taking the defensive and arguing or lashing back,
try to react with kindness, insight, and understanding. Your reaction may be
startling, but that may be just what's needed right now.
