Someone must sacrifice for peace to rein in every misunderstanding
Hey guys...
Hope your weekend holidays are progressing nicely. I am enjoying mine but not without the usual stress as a result of sharing banters with friends here and there.
Well, I decided to write on the above title drawing from my advice to two of my close pals who are on the warring path over disagreement emanating from business they jointly did sometime ago. You see, it could be dangerous in a situation where two friends disagree on something, and each of them refuses to yield ground for peace to rein.
Resolving issues such as this could be quite complicated because you really don't know where to start from. And and the premise on which to base your argument without anyone of them feeling betrayed.
I was faced with such a situation to adjudicate between two of my friends who, like I said above, are on warring path over business fallouts. After speaking to me over what the issues are, I was dumbfounded and transfixed.
At first I didn't know what to do. I don't know whom to side but, of course, I know who's at fault and who isn't. I tactically avoided saying anything before them both, initially.
After sometimes, I sent a direct message to one of them whom I thought was guilty. In that message, I didn't accuse him of being at fault in the first place. I started by telling him why I thought he should give peace a chance. That in a situation where two friends are in disagreement and threatening to deal with each other, if no one decides to sacrifice his interest for peace, then they will end up physically hurting themselves. Will that solve the problem? I guess no.
I found out, overtime, that most time most people did see reason to agree with me, which would then cause peace to reign.
I hoe you will adopt this strategy of conflict resolution.
Thanks for reading.
