Now the world is a crazy place. Multiple wars, plenty of border conflicts, plenty of regional bouts… heck, there’s enough fights within every household too!
A very interesting podcast by William Ury, known as one of the best conflict negotiators in the world, threw up some super ideas.
Firstly, that conflict will never end.
Why?
Because conflicts are borne of change. And the world is constantly changing. AI, technology etc. etc. Plenty of changes, and hence conflicts will arise, large or small.
Importantly, peace is a process, not an outcome. It takes effort and time. And requires us to engage – both creatively and collaboratively, so that both parties feel they are moving forward.
Super advice, even if for resolving our day to day smaller conflicts no?
