Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship. An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn39。t very good, recently told me that she hadn39。t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn39。t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, I can39。t do that. He39。s the one who should apologize. She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn small stuff into really big stuff in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn39。t mean that you39。re wrong. Everything will be fine. You39。ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. You39。ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be right, they will bee less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don39。t, that39。s okay too. You39。ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you39。ll be more peaceful yourself.（1）The underlined word rekindle in Paragraph 1 probably means ____________.
