The only ingredient that makes the world go round is trust. When it is lacking in a home, the home suffers and when it is absent in the community, it results into survival of the fittest with all the negative consequences for the society to deal with.
It is submitted that it is better to talk over it than to fight over it. Sometimes giving your path to the dog may be better than be bitten by the dog.
