Unless you make it a point to choose unbridled agreement and to be utterly compliant over limited or great issues with folks in your household, discord of all sorts and varied timing will find its presence.  You can’t help that it finds its way between and among individuals sharing one roof.  I like all kinds of food and welcome even exotic and rare tastes, for instance.  When a certain food item, however, would hurt my health and well-being, you are right guessing that I will refuse to partake of it!  I am almost generously liberal with ideas that come and get shared with people I live with and with those who happen to just pop in or have actually called in to visit and stay.  When anyone totally disrespects my opinion on a conversational subject, though, you are downright sure that I would let that someone know his or her disrespect would not be tolerated!  A gathering of individuals is just that – a circle for differences of choices, thoughts, and decisions requiring an open listening, and thoughtful consideration.
