People have an almost amazing ability to disagree with one another? Even the simplest assertions can become bones of contention and causes of resentment. Yet those same people, under different circumstances, can appear to agree about so much. It is partly down to social nicety. If we feel obliged to show politeness, we go out of our way to find points in common. If we are feeling grumpy and grouchy, the slightest excuse for a dispute will do. So, how seriously do you take a conflict.
Sailing boats travel faster when the wind is behind them. They can still get to their destination if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction but it becomes a much slower, more complicated process that involves 'tacking' from side to side. If you've got a vessel, what will determine your direction? Will it come down to speed and simplicity? Or will you decide that it is worth going to all that extra effort to get where you really want to be?
When there is injustice, does the perpetrator deserve a taste of their own medicine? We ought to stop and wonder what caused the bad behaviour in the first instance. Perhaps such medicine has already been prescribed and this is what has provoked them into acting so unreasonably. Perhaps, instead, they should be treated with so much kindness that they become overwhelmed and see the error of their ways. A saintly attitude may bring great benefit if only you can find the stamina to supply it.
