Has someone really wronged you? Contemplate that story, but instead of how it came out in real life, figure out a totally unexpected method of dealing with the situation. Use kindness. Have fun with the story creation.
You can actually help your characters to make themselves look like butt heads when they respond negatively to the random acts of kindness from the main character. Further develope your story with how things cause chain reactions in the plot line. Turn up the heat with consequences of actions on both character's parts.
Finally, let the kindness break through to the adversary. Create heart in someone that seems to have been without one. Make the readers care about the outcome of the relationship between characters. Give good reason that the mending of souls take place, & show how the little choices in life can make a difference. Most folks respond to negative with negative. Dare to be different! Choose to write a story that lets the positive of kindness win over pain & strife.
