Most often, in so many instances the approach is important and vital in seeking ways out of a conflict situation. It might help to study the culture, the way of life, the beliefs and practices of the people we have to confront in order to reach a plateau of common understanding.
Tooth-for-a tooth solutions as we can plainly see, only lead to a spiral of non-ending violence. In such cases there will be no winners...only losers... and most of them are those that can't defend themselves...hapless civilians, children, women, old people...Â* Â*
