It would be so easy to interpret "all wrongs" as the slings and arrows that others, life, the universe throw at us and that we then convert into valuable lessons on our way to enlightenment. But as you point out, those wrongs might as well be or own actions, not necessarily the ones fueled by anger but also those fueled by good intentions. Each and every of our actions can turn sour and then we need to sit down and look at the whole situation and appraise whether anything is salvageable and what we can learn from the experience.
I think especially when it comes to subjects where we are emotionally involved because we care deeply, we can end up saying the wrong thing. Maybe the best option is just to listen and accept that there exist different views and that we don't know everything. But we're so eager to let everyone know our opinion on the matter at hand that we can't remain silent.
Anyway, being aware of the risks when we react to something is the first step to avoid harm. And as you wrote: this is a practice, and in order to practice we need situations that stretch our capabilities.
