Conflict

Picture size 75cm H x 75cm W

Conflict develops when one feels himself to be in the right and runs into opposition.  If a man is entangled in a conflict his only salvation lies in being so clear-headed and inwardly strong that he is always ready to come to terms by meeting the opponent halfway.  To carry on the conflict to the bitter end has evil effects even when one is in the right, because the enmity is then perpetuated.  It is important to find an impartial authority to terminate the conflict amicably and assure a just decision.

To avoid conflict everything must be taken carefully into consideration in the very beginning.  If rights and duties are clearly defined, or if, in a group, the spiritual trends of the individuals harmonise, the cause of conflict is removed in advance.
