We cannot faciliate and promote conflict-resolutions in the absence of both-parties learning to understand how and why we differ from each other. A preponderance-of- power is not the basis for a successful resolution of any conflict; and believing that a preponderance-of-power is the basis for a successful resolution, is often "the- difference" which is the reason for the continuation of a conflict. True and successful conflict-resolutions are based upon mutaul-understandings of the roots-of-the-conflicts; not upon any preponderance of power, force, technology, wealth, "goods", "evil" or arrogance on either side. So long as un-recognized differences in understandings regarding the roots of the conflict continue --- so long it is likely that the conflict will continue. Be aware of and beware of any sense of superiority associated with a difference in understanding the roots-of-a-conflict. Such a sense of superiority is never associated with the ability to resolve the conflict. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
