You wonder what this pair of clouds are arguing about. Just like 2 different people in a family or friendship, perhaps its just territorial domination in the sky of who is the more powerful cloud in terms of size who can produce more precipitation. Much of the time, arguing isn’t a good thing and can lead to much worse relationship situations later on that can take years to mend. At other times, arguing can get hurt off your chest and give you a chance to stand up for yourself in unpleasant situations for which you can fell proud of. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
