The better way to settle disputes is to effect a reconciliation at the very outset. Reconciliation is like a safety valve in any situation where there are conflicting interests and where tempers can become explosive. So, at times of provocation, the best course to adopt is a conciliatory rather than a confrontational one. That is a law of nature.
Man has been given freedom in this world. What is required of him is that, despite possessing total freedom, he should of his own free will become an example of moral, disciplined behavior. One who thus conducts himself will pass God’s test and will be selected by the Lord, the Creator and Sustainer of this universe, as the beneficiaries of that most wonderful blessing—eternal paradise.
Whoever seeks to obtain small benefits at the risk of great dangers is like a fisherman who uses a hook of gold; should it come off, no catch would compensate the loss.
In the use of violence, man simply follows his basic instincts, while to promote peace; man has to give himself a complete moral overhaul. Only after such a conversion is the individual able to play the role of a peace-loving person.
