The confrontational approach resembles a leaky vessel, resulting in a significant loss of time, energy, and resources. Conversely, the non-confrontational method acts as a streamlined ship, allowing us to channel all efforts towards our goals. Attempting negotiation and confrontation simultaneously is akin to trying to steer two boats in opposite directions—chaos ensues. Confrontation often sparks unjust reactions and erupts into violence, whereas a non-confrontational stance showcases our maturity in navigating turbulent waters.
Simultaneously seeking peace and justice is akin to chasing two elusive butterflies; often, the pursuit yields little positive outcome. To untangle this knot, we must separate justice from peace, recognizing that peace serves to normalize situations, not necessarily establish justice. Peace acts as a temporary harbor, allowing us to seize opportunities without constant turbulence. Justice, however, is a shared responsibility, akin to tending to a communal garden—imposed instructions yield little growth.
