When NOT to Make Peace
I'm a peaceful guy. Given a choice, any choice at all, I will avoid conflict by seeking to create dialogue. If that doesn't work, or the situation is too intense I may just leave. Leaving is good. Leaving is peaceful. Leaving feels safe.
But leaving is not always the best choice. It's not enough to make peach with a problem when it's our duty to solve it. Making peace with that kind of problem makes us culpable for the problem.
Centered problem solvers solve problems even when it would be easier to run away.
Don't run away from problems that need to be solved. Don't make peace with a problem causing pain.
