Starting with me
In order to have a peaceful world, free from conflict, we need to start with ourselves. It may not be possible for us to stop wars between countries, but it is in our power to prevent disagreements with our family and friends.
Here are some tips for how to avoid conflict in our own lives:
- Never hit someone else
- Never raise your voice at someone in anger
- Never swear or use bad language at someone
- Always try to resolve a conflict by discussion
- If you can't reach an agreement, ask someone else to act as a mediator
- Never deliberately provoke a conflict
- Try to make up after an argument before you go to bed
- Remember the value of saying 'I'm sorry'
