It ishard to change our point of view in a conflict. Most often, it is because weare not nearly as interested in resolving the conflict and possibly creatinga new ‘pearl’ as we are in being right.
Undernormal conditions, most people tend to see what they want to see, hear what theywant to hear, and do what they want to do; in conflicts, their positionsbecome even more rigid and fixed.
Thecourts of this country should not be the places where resolution of disputesbegins. They should be the places where the disputes end after alternativemethods of resolving disputes have been considered and tried.
