In movies, when a fight is about to break out, they always say something to the effect of:"You wanna take this outside?"
This is obviously to avoid a bar brawl, suspension from school—or offended children.
In Feng Shui, we take energy very seriously. There is no "bad" energy—there is only energy (or "Chi"). And it is all about flowing. Like most things, when it gets stuck or is moving too fast, it can have adverse effects.
Most of us have experienced having a heated argument with someone, or walked into a room where you "could cut the tension with a knife...". Those are great examples of "stuck" energy.
There is no "arguee" in an argument—just two or more arguers. An argument is two conflicting opinions, always resulting (at least temporarily) in a deadlock. (Read: stuck energy.)
I once heard someone say "the best way to stop an argument is to stop arguing". That is probably the best advice, as it will avoid the inevitable impasse. However, that's easier said than done.
So, if you must argue—take it outside.
Why start an "energy brawl" in your living room?—leave your living room to living.
At the onset of any argument, step up and say "let's take this outside!". Worst-case-scenario, the other person will say "No! I'm not moving until we settle this!", then you can go outside and have a one-sided argument and a pleasant walk.
