What to do when conflicts arise


I am right. You are wrong. That’s what the people say. It’s somehow a part of us, and it really shows when the case is very serious. People tend to argue rather than lose. But what do we do when we encounter situations like this? Do we argue our way out? Or do we look for another way? There are several ways to settle a conflict. You can settle your differences, or look up the evidence and facts.
When looking at or settling an argument, we must be objective, not subjective. That way, we will have proof on what you believe or support. You are not always right. Humans are not perfect. Consider that in an argument.  
Evidences are very powerful. Let’s say you saw something that you are confident about, a flying saucer. If you tell that to others without any form of evidence, they will not believe you and will think you made it up. But let’s say you took a very detailed picture and show it to them. They might have a better chance of believing you. A credible witness can also be evidence, as long as his witness matches what he saw.
Arguments are conflicts, and they can lead to violence and trouble. That’s why we should settle an argument before problems arise.

  1. Hi Bill,

    Great insights!

    But when people are entrenched in their opinions, no eveidence can convince them. They'll probably say you cooked up the evidence and argue their way out. What will YOU do?
