Have you ever been involved in solving a problem only to feel like the solution created about as much conflict as it solved?
The best solution is not always the fastest. We need to consider everyone involved. If our solution creates hardship for some of our constituents, they are likely to resist it. We can create more problems with a partial solution than we solve.
If there's no peace in the solution then it's not a solution.
Solutions that create more tension, more stress, and more conflict are temporary. They push the problem aside momentarily but it always comes back tougher and more resistant to change.
Find peace. Find mutually beneficial outcomes. Solve those problems in ways that the solutions persist.
What's your idea of peace?
