Fantastical

I have a high opinion of fantasy.
Rather than hear about mundane squabbles and petty bickering I just sigh and go back into my world where people get along.

It does make empathy more difficult.
On the other hand, I don't particpate or provoke this kind of bickering either.
The better me will communicate more of this...

Instead of just going to another room, which is what I usally do, I should say "please stop this bickering; are these matters really worth tainting yourselves and those about whom you discuss by reaffirming the mistakes of others? Are you helping the situation or exacerbating it?"
